Which token is associated with directing energy toward the client?

• A. U
• B. N
• C. D
• D. Regard

Answer: (C)

Directing energy toward the client is shown through regard—the coach’s warm, attentive, nonjudgmental stance that signals the client is the focus of the moment. Regard embodies giving full presence, genuine interest, and respectful attention, which helps build safety, trust, and engagement in the coaching relationship. The other tokens don’t specifically convey this intentional outward focus toward the client, so regard is the one that best represents directing energy to them.
