Summary:

This coaching course is inspired by The Coaching Habit by Michael Bungay Stanier and offers a practical framework for effective coaching, both professionally and personally. The central premise of the course is that by asking the right questions, we can empower others to find their own solutions and achieve their goals.

The 7 Coaching Questions 
“What’s on your mind?”
“And what else?”
“what’s the real challenge here for you?”
“What do you want?”
“How can I help?”
“If you are saying yes to this, what are you saying no to?”
“What was most useful for you?”

These questions form the core of the coaching framework. They are designed to guide individuals towards self-discovery, goal setting, and action planning.
