10 powerful coaching questions

You're only as good as the questions you ask.

This was Steve Jobs famous question:

"'If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?' If the Answer is 'no' for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something."

Back in the early days of coaching I was too ready to give people the answers they were looking for. Now I spend more time crafting and searching for the right question.

If I ask the right question, the answer is more beautiful and more perfect than than best of the answers I could've come up with. Why? Because if you ask the right questions you get to the truth. Sometimes we don't know our own truths. That's one of the reasons why coaching can be so powerful.

The questions I ask my people are usually the things that trigger BREAKTHROUGH thinking.  I wanted to share some of them with you. Don't just read them. Answer them.
