Coaching case
client : Quitting smoking is actually pretty iportant to me. It's just so hard to quit, and frankly, I can't stand being told how to do it by non-smokers.
coach : It is frustrating when you feel you haven't discovered yet how best to quit. Let's look at what is under your control here. What about quitting is important to you ?
client : Well, it would get my employer to stop nagging me.
coach : That sounds like a good outcome. I'm curious about other outcomes that matter even more. What else do you see that would be an immediate benefit ?
client : I'd probably lose this nagging cough that keeps me from getting a good sleep.
coach : And what else ?
client : My coworkers wouldn't look at me like I have the plaque.
coach : It sounds like that is hurtful for you. What do you wish was happening ?
client : I feel a bit like an outcast around them. I miss out on some conversations and fun when I'm taking smoke breaks during lunch, for example.
coach : You really want to feel like you aren't missing out on any of the opportunities to connect with them. You want to feel included.
client : Yes, that's it.
coach : And beyond the workplace, which is just one aspect of your life, what would it mean to you to be free of smoking ?
