My Favorite Coaching Questions

Question can make or break a coaching session...

A mediocre question can puzzle or confuse or stall a client, while a good question can provoke creative thinking, take a client outside the box and help them find the answer inside themselves.

Here are my favorite - and sometimes quirky - questions I ask clients to help them focus and move forward:

1. What is your most important question for me today?

2. If I told you to stay in your room for the next 3 hours, and not come out until you create a workshop, what would you create it about?

3. If you're in the room with 100 people staring at you, what will you talk to them about for the next 45 minutes?

4. What keeps your clients up at night? When they brush their teeth, get in their pajamas, and lie in their bed, what are they thinking about?

Of course, these questions are meant to move my clients closer to their niche market, and amazingly they always end up finding the answers.
