What gets addressed first?  Of course, the client chooses.  Also, the coach needs to be aware of the traditional hierarchy of priorities.  I recommended that you consider problems, concerns and situations in this order.  (The words in parentheses are keyed to Coach U’s Path of Development.)

After you connect with the person, satisfy yourself that each level is complete or in progress.  It is possible -- and usually a good idea -- to work on personal goals at the same time as professional goals.

1. Stop the Pain      (recover -- this is actually pre-coaching)
I understand                  or          I can understand.
I know how you feel         or         I can only imagine how you feel.
That’s natural and understandable.
What needs to be done to take care of this now?
You’re doing the right thing.  (if they are.)
You need to (take an action) right now.

2. Safety, Food, Shelter      (restore)
What’s the first thing you need to do to (be safe)  (get food)  (find a place to live/stay)?

3. Belonging, Love, Needs     (personal foundation)
Who do you have around you for love and support? 
Do you have a spouse, partner or family?

4. Integrity, Boundaries, Standards     (adult)
What do you require of yourself in these areas?
What do you require of others in relation to yourself?
Which area is the most seriously below your standard (out of integrity)?

5. Community, Networks       (attraction)
How can you be a model of how you want to live, be a parent, be a manager, be a leader, or relate to those outside your family so that people want to be around you (be like Mike/Mark)?

6. Integrate Career with Their Life (true values)
Is how you “make your living” consistent with your values? 

7. Peace, Happiness, Effortlessness (fulfillment)
Is your life satisfying, productive, simplified, nurturing, and easy?

8. Contribution, Teach, Mentor (legacy)
What can you give out of your ABUNDANCE?  When all the other levels of development are cleared and needs are satisfied, you are in a position to contribute for this reason:   it is natural and effortless and there is no personal cost.
