Today we had a good conversation about the value of questions in the coaching exchange. The following is a compilation of what came out of that conversation. Our hope is that you continue the conversation by sharing this post and commenting with YOUR beliefs about questions.
- Authentic curiosity is stimulated by asking WHAT questions, not by When or How questions which tend to go towards solutions
- Why questions are rare in coaching because they ask you to defend or explain your position instead of exploring it.
- You could do a whole coaching session using nothing but what questions that would accomplish everything you would need to do in a coaching exchange.
