• Everyone (also the case giver)
reflects on the whole story and
propose a steering guide hidden
behind the case giver behaviours
• The case giver writes down all
hidden steering guides including his
own and choose one or put together
pieces of different guides proposed
5. STATE THE HIDDEN STEERING GUIDE/all

chosen everyone (also the case giver)
writes down and proposes a new steering
guide based on the chosen hidden guide

• The coaches offer back as a gift to the
case giver their images, feelings and
actions/Gestures
• The case giver writes down all comments
and at the end indicate what
reverberates with her/him
