As you probably know, coaching is an iterative process.
This means you try something, monitor the results, measure if things are working or not, and then – based on the results of your measures – decide what to do next.

As discussed in the video above, if a client is rockin’ it, you’ll probe to learn what they’re doing to be so successful. This way you can use these “superpowers” to help them succeed with new and possibly more challenging habits.
If your client is struggling, you’ll look for both their limiting factors and their “hidden” advantages. You can use these to overcome their current struggles and turn them into successes.
