Outcome, Scaling, Know How & Resources, Affirm and Action, Review

A useful 5-stage coaching model, often abbreviated to OSKAR, for focusing on finding a solution to an issue, without much intermediate reflection taking place.

1. Define the purpose and outcome from the coaching session.
2. On a scale of 1 to 10 towards the desired outcome, where is the coachee on this scale.
3. What knowledge, skills and behaviours does the coachee currently possess? What resources are available to help assist in achieving the desired outcome?
4. Provide positive affirmation to the coachee from findings of stage 3. The Coach will help the coachee identify action to take.
5. At the next coaching session (typically), review progress made and identify further areas for improvement.
