  • What makes this goal important to you?
  • How does this goal fit into your vision?
  • When you reach your desired outcome, how would you like to feel?
  • What type of change would make your life even better?

Options phase:

  • What is some way your goal could be accomplished?
  • Tell me about a time you accomplished something similar? 
  • What ways have you seen others approach such a task? 
  • What action can you take to achieve your goal? 
  • If you choose not to take some of the actions, what will be the impact?

Obstacles phase:

  • What external challenges might interfere?
  • What internal challenges might get in the way?
  • Who can you get support from?

Do phase:
