Coachee: I totally blew it on my last report. It was terrible.
Coach: Do I hear you saying that you weren’t happy with the quality of your last report? What were the weak spots? What do you think you could have done better?
Coachee: The research I was waiting on didn’t arrive until the last minute, and I didn’t have time to edit it before it went into my report. The client was unhappy with that section.
Coach: So what steps can we take to make sure you get your research on time?
