Problem solving

'He who asks questions cannot avoid the answers'.  One of the key skills for a coach is questioning.  The questions that I ask my clients make all the difference.  The better the questions the better the result.  Questions change what you are focusing on, they enable you to see the things you have overlooked or deleted and allow you to see other possibilities and resources available to you.

An example of this is the following sequence of questions that are great to overcome a problem:


1.  What is great about this situation?
2. What is missing?
3. What are you willing to do to make it the way you want?
4. What are you not willing to do to make it the way you want?
5.  How can you enjoy the process while you do what is necessary to make it the way you want?


You will be amazed at the difference in how you fel about the problem after going through this sequence.

All the best,
