SCT 323—Making Your Coaching Questions Powerful
2 sessions; four hours
Instructor: Laura Stephens-Reed, PCC
One of the best tools in a coach’s toolkit is the ability to ask powerful questions. But what exactly is it that makes questions powerful? In this class we will break down the characteristics of powerful questions and discuss how these kinds of queries are utilized at every stage of a coaching conversation. Together we will view online coaching demonstrations and consider what powerful questions we heard, what made them so effective, and what they accomplished. And we will engage in coaching skills practices in class so that students have the opportunity to try out what they have learned about powerful questions and reflect on their application of the course material.
This class will touch on all ICF core competencies, but we will focus on competency #5 (maintains presence), competency #6 (listens actively), and core competency #7 (evokes awareness).
Requirement: Participant must have completed at least 16 hours of coach training.
