Asking quality, open-ended questions, that lead a coachee towards the desired outcome creates several wins. You’ve helped the coachee move closer to their goals, and you’ve helped them to be able to ask themselves better questions in the future. You’re training them to problem solve.
The 3 Types of Questions:
1. Open (can’t be answered yes or no)
2. Bigger (expands the coachee’s view)
3. Probing (narrows and extends the coachee’s thought process)
