The coaching questions model is a master tool where individuals can utilize a list of questions for various situations as a resource. Some questions can be memorized short-term as a type of map for leading coaching conversations. Other questions can be practiced and then adjusted for your unique coaching relationship. There are various lists of questions for beginners to advanced coaches, which can be personalized to your particular needs and/or situation.
Some examples of areas that you can fine-tune your coaching questions to include are:
Specific coaching processes:
e.g. conversational models, SMART goals, probing questions, identifying obstacles, etc.
Life coaching and destiny discovery:
e.g. motivations, dreams, values, calling, etc.
Improving your life:
e.g. what's missing?, tolerating/coping, and self-care
Advanced asking skills:
e.g. decision making, habit change, challenge, etc.
Coaching niches:
e.g. small business coaching, career coaching, relationship coaching, etc.
