COACHING PRACTICE TOOLS

A four-question grid template for building structured
assessment questions with defined answer options.

About This Template

The 2x2 grid layout on this template is not incidental. Presenting four questions simultaneously allows a client to see their responses in relation to each other rather than answering each in isolation. Patterns become visible when questions are laid out side-by-side.

Use this format when you want to surface how a client approaches similar situations differently, compare responses across contexts (work vs. home, high-stakes vs. routine), or identify which quadrant of a topic generates the most energy or avoidance.

This template provides structure. The questions, answer options, and debrief conversation are yours to design for each client and each engagement.

How to Use This Template

Design questions that fit together thematically. A 2x2 grid works best when all four questions belong to the same domain - the same relationship, the same role, the same challenge area.
Write answer options that are genuinely distinct. Avoid options where most clients would converge on the same answer. The useful responses are the ones where the choice reveals something.
Give this to the client before the session, not during it. Pre-session completion allows for more considered responses and frees session time for the conversation rather than the exercise.
In the debrief, ask about the options not chosen. What the client ruled out is often as informative as what they selected.
