What are you no longer willing to tolerate?

This is one of my favourite questions for a new coaching client. It gives rise to all kinds of emotions, often hurt, anger and frustration, so it's a great time to explore what's behind these emotions and what values are not being honoured. Once you have explored the values, you can follow-up with questions like:

• What's the impact of that on you?

• How are you going to honour this values now?

• What boundaries need to be in place to make this happen?

When to use

• The best time to use is at the beginning of a coaching engagement

• When exploring the client's values and how much they are being honoured

• Also when you are exploring boundaries of the client with others
