• GOALS - What specifically would you like to explore? How will you know you
have achieved this goal? What evidence will there be?
• REALITY - What is happening right now? What, who, when & how often?
What is the effect/result of that?
• OPTIONS - “What else could you do?” “What if this or that constraint were
removed? “What are the benefits and downsides of each option?” “What
factors will you use to weigh up the options?
• WAY FORWARD - “So what will you do now … and when? “What could stop
you moving forward?” “And how will you overcome it?” “Will this address your
goal?” “How likely is this option to succeed?” “What else will you do?”
24. The TRANSFORMATIONAL Model
• Elicit Focus - Where would you like to focus this Coaching call?
• Ask - “How is that a problem for you right now?” “How else?” “How else?”
• Future Pace - Go to a time in the future where this isn’t a problem for
you....what will you be seeing, hearing, feeling, what will make sense? What
evidence will there be that there is a change in this for you? What will you be
telling yourself?
• Establish a way forward - What beliefs do you need to give up? use Pain V
Pleasure - what are you tolerating? What will you gain? Agreement Frame
- Is this something you want to change right now? Are you sure? Absolutely?

What three things can you DO right now to move towards this goal?
25. The PLEASURE v PAIN Model
• PAIN - What will happen if you don’t? What won’t happen if you don’t? What
is the cost of not taking action? What are you tolerating by staying where you
are? What is it about the situation that is holding you back? If you chose to
do nothing what would be the result? How close to your goal is this belief
getting you? How long will you stay at effect?
• PLEASURE - What are the benefits of moving ahead? What would happen if
you felt the fear and did it anyway? Who will you be after this is no longer a
problem? What will you attract into your life? Can you see/hear/fell the life
you will be living after this old thing?
27. what is future pacing?
• Mentally rehearsing the future and accessing current skills & strengths
• Establishing new “ways of being” in the future, right now.
• You can show your client how to strengthen their resolve over a decision or
confidence over a new skill
• You can identify potential obstacles and create confidence in overcoming
• You solidify the choices your client has made
• Help your client practice how to access their new resources
28. future pace questions
• Go in your minds eye....see, hear, feel, listen to your self talk....
• One month/3 months/12 months into the future....
• See yourself with this new belief/these new skills/new....
• Notice what is going on, what has changed, what certainty, what confidence
you have, its affect on others
• Go forward to a place where this obstacle/challenge might have otherwise
been a problem....notice how effortlessly you move past that old thing
• Go even farther into the future and notice (see, hear, feel) the new direction,
momentum, confidence with which you are living....bring to present!
