For this talk, I changed my typical routine of coaching talk (i.e. The Effective Yet Effortless Coaching). I presented the audience with two sets of questions to go over the Simple Coaching Model. One was aimed at getting the coaches to get deeper into their coachee's thoughts and lead them through their underlying layers. The second set was more about getting them to focus on what's closest and had a biased toward action. I also shortened the time for the activity to less than 45 minutes. Both sets of questions are following the Simple Coaching Model. It showed an example of how it is diverse and can be used in different circumstances, with diverse or even unpredicted outcomes and/or goals in mind.
