The overall goal of coaching is change. While change processes are not observable, coaching processes, i.e. the conversation or interaction between coach and client, can be observed. This contribution is dedicated to a specific component of the coaching conversation, the basic activity ‚Co-Constructing Change‘. In the context of this activity, coach and client define concern and goal of the coaching and work on the latter according to the underlying coaching agenda in order to ge- nerate change for the client. While ‚Co-Constructing Change‘ epitomizes the com- municative and interactive core of coaching-specific change communication, coach and client also engage in the basic activities ‚Defining the Situation‘, ‚Building the Relationship‘ and ‚Evaluating the Coaching‘. Both, entire coaching processes and individual coaching sessions, occur in loops in these at times repetitive and inter- dependent basic activities; all activities together allow for change communication. Our contribution exemplarily illustrates the inter- and intra-activity dimension of the basic activity ‚Co-Constructing Change‘ with the help of a case study of one coaching process. While the former focusses on the mutual influence of the basic activities in their respective communicative and interactive layouts, the latter fo- cusses on the communicative and interactive layout of individual basic activities, in our case of ‚Co-Constructing Change‘, along the various sessions of an entire coaching process.
