We (as coaches) are accompanied by the question of how long the duration of the coaching will be. Often the duration is limited by financial aspects. If we follow an integral concept, the duration depends primarily on the needs of the client, our own professionalism and on some indirect factors. It is clear to us that we must set goals together after building a sustainable coach-client relationship. Determining the goals includes the aspect, that the grade of achievement need to be reflected at regular intervals and measured by degrees of attainment. On the one hand we have a number of psychometric test procedures available for this purpose. On the other hand, we immediately need an impression, while reflecting on the meta-level of communication during a coaching conversation. By internalising the self-exploration scale of A. + R. Tausch, we have a tool to reflect what has just happened to the client, how the methods have supported the development of the client and which impact has the coach-client relationship in this context.
