However, for me as a coach, one of my key focus is whether the 'coaching goal' is 'ecologically congruent' to what the client/coachee values; and hence has the 'motivation, will, and committment' to make the 'coaching goal' happens (the usual dilemmna that we coaches encounter with client/coachee not actioning his/her coaching goal before the next coaching session?) I explore, search, and 'materialize conversationally or visually' the 'coaching goal' with the client/coachee, so that as much 'ground' is covered to cement, so that the probability and outcomes of the coaching goal increases. Are there any exhilarating 'goal setting models' out there beside SMART (or extended versions of SMART)? Billy C H Teoh Malaysia. Basically SMART is a good start.
