This is a type of developmental task, where the reason why to do it is obvious to the Coachee from the very beginning.  Direct tasks are important, although often they do not bring a breaking point in the process of change.  They are extremely helpful when a client needs to complete his knowledge, experience something that is important to the process of achieving a goal, or become aware of something.

• Reading a book
• Seeing a movie
• talking with somebody important

• Writing a text
