The absence of a focus can also impact “uncovering the gap”. It could bring it to a “closing the gap” instead of “uncovering” it and would end up in a transactional coaching conversation instead of a “transformational one”. We’re not looking for a solution, but the client’s intention. Finding the focus is also like drawing a line so that when we move to expanding the mind, the problems gets clarity if not it will be intermingled and become confusing and into “solutioning” and “remedy” by the client – it becomes about losing something instead of gaining something.
