ABSTRACT
This chapter describes a framework for determining the area of life in which a coachee has energy to explore and develop. It focuses on three aspects of connection: to self, others and the world. Growing out of inevitable script development and the potential lack of affirmative messages, the options of permissions are introduced to support thriving in each area. The coach partners with the coachee to create their own unique permissions to begin to tell a new story of who they are in relationship to themselves, others and the world. Early experiences lead to script decisions and many people then live their grown-up life with some gaps in the vitality of connection to one of these areas.
