ABSTRACT

Quadrant 1 is the place where coaching engagements typically begin. In this space clients focus predominantly on making tactical improvements to enhance their personal effectiveness, and create the foundation for incorporating reflective insight into their lives. For some clients, Quadrant 1 will be the main body of their coaching work. For others, it will provide a solid base that opens the door to the deeper learning of the other quadrants. The following case study illustrates the dynamics of coaching work in the first quadrant.
