Description

On this episode of @CoachingThruIt Laura and Julie do a walk-through of what powerful questions are and how they are used in coaching practice and as a skill in life.

“They help the coach and the client to seek understanding and find clarity around any issue, challenge, or topics that a client brings to the session.” Via Dr. Katie Linder https://www.higheredcoaches.com/

Elements of powerful questions:

• They are short.
• They often start with “what” and “how” stems.
• They are open-ended.
• They are non-judgmental.
• They come from a place of curiosity.
• They are focused on the client.
• They are goal-oriented.
• They are followed by silence.

Phrasing powerful questions around:

• Past / Present / Future
• Learn / Be / Do
