Profiling

We did a nice exercise for profiling your client.

It helps you to better understand and select you tools as a coach.

Levels

1. Identity - what is the identity of the person is coming to you?
2. Values and beliefs: how is it important this problem?
3. Capabilities: Does he has all the capabilities to solve his problem?
4. Behavior: is he going closer to the solution?
5. Environment: is there a supporting environment?

Ok, I wrote there questions, they indicated the meaning of the level. but as a coach we should ask better questions:

1. Identity - what is your role around this problem?
2. Values and beliefs: how is it important this problem?
3. Capabilities: Do you have all the skills to solve the problem?
4. Behavior: What you would do to solve the problem?
5. Environment: Could you find support for your solution?

You can do this exercise also for yourself when you face with a problem.
