In this paper presented largely in the form of a dialogue I outline the mental processes required for engaging with the Constructive Developmental Framework (CPF) (Laske 1999). From among the varieties of process consultation potentially benefiting from using CDF I focus on coaching. I speak from experience with CDF rather than primarily in terms of its theoretical foundations. Using one example I convey a ?feel? of how developmental coaching works in practice once CDF has been learned and internalized by its user.
