Methodology and timing

During coaching session: make an asset-based approach by asking the coachee to reflect and focus on strenghs, talents, competencies and things they are doing right. It will be far more likely to make long lasting change than focusing on weaknesses.

The advice is to start by yourself as coach and identify your own potential and possibilities. This will help be more ready to then look at the strengths and assets of others.
