The Art & Science of Powerful Questions

How often have you been moved to new heights by someone asking the right question in the right way at the right time? That kind of powerful questioning is at the core of what we do as coaches.

Unfortunately, the complex internal and external factors at play in coaching mean there’s no simple formula — no ideal list or one-size-fits-all approach for such powerful inquiry. Coaching is a dance; there are rules and forms, but these have to be coupled with creativity and with the inherent uniqueness of every client and every single coaching conversation.

This 10-week course explores the science as well as the art of powerful questions. We’ve combined two classic coaching texts — ‘A More Beautiful Question’ and ‘Coaching for Breakthrough Success’ with an incredibly out-of-the-box gem — ‘Improv Wisdom: Don’t Prepare, Just Show Up’. You have NEVER experienced a class like this!

Mixing visual, auditory, and kinesthetic exercises with in-class coaching, fascinating readings, journaling, peer coaching, and scripture study, you’ll strengthen your ‘being’ as well as your ‘doing’ and grow your coaching to a completely new level.

Prerequisites: The Essentials of Life Coaching or The Essentials of Leadership Coaching class, or approved equivalent introductory course in professional coaching.
