Coaching begins with finding out where you’re at, where you want to go and what you’ve been doing. The most important question about what you’ve been doing is, “How’s that working for you?”

If what you’re doing is working well, keep it up and let’s see if there is anything else you can do to accelerate your results. Part of the value of coaching is helping you find blind spots and hidden opportunities.

If you’ve hit a plateau or what you’ve been doing has you headed in the wrong direction, it’s time for a change. It’s usually easier to add good things than it is to remove bad things. If you have a craving, drink a big glass of water. Do that often enough and you might eliminate your stubborn snacking habit.

If what you’re doing isn’t working for you, what positive habit can you add to balance things out?

      Is there a time on most days that would work for walk? For example, commit to getting out for a 5-minute walk after lunch or after dinner. Once you’re out there, you can always go longer. It’s getting started that usually holds us back.
