Powerful Questions
Ability to ask questions that reveal the information needed for maximum benefit to the coaching relationship and the client.

- Asks questions that evoke discovery, insight, commitment or action (e.g., those that challenge the client's assumptions).
- Asks open-ended questions that create greater clarity, possibility or new learning.
- Asks questions that move the client toward what they desire, not questions that ask for the client to justify or look backward.
