In business coaching scenarios, reality includes raising the coachee’s awareness of the external reality (organizational strategy, policies and processes, political landscape, behavioral norms, culture, unwritten rules, power dynamics, etc.) as well as the coachee’s internal reality (inner thoughts, feelings, beliefs, values, and attitudes). Anyone working in an organization coexists within a system that includes other people and things that may help coachees to achieve their goals, or get in the way. This is perhaps best illustrated by way of an example.
