AC202 Powerful Questions (3) - Reflection

Moderator-Joanne Waldman

Feb. 11, I spent time to jump into the ICA teleclass course- AC202 Powerful Questions (3).
As usual, the moderator asked us, any wins to share at the beginning.

What is the definition of powerful questions?
1. Is that the Q that take your breath away?
2. Is that the Q that stop you in traps?
3. Is that the Q that open the possibility for you?
4. Is that the Q verify who you are?
5. Is that the Q that make you thinking out of box?

During the courses, we had some simulation practices:
a. A client has no idea how to grow up?
b. A client wants to have a healthy lifestyle.
c. How if someone would like to manage their time more effectively?

What would be the powerful questions for these particular situations? If you want someone to reflect further on a problem or view it from a different angle, some of the most powerful questions to ask are the following:

● “How can I best coach you in this situation?”
● “What would be the best question to ask you right now to help you think clearly about this situation?”
● “What is the lesson here?”
● “What do you need to do now?”

If you think someone is holding back through fear or insecurity, some of the best questions to ask are the following:

● “What are you resisting?”
● “Have you been here before?”
● “Are you holding on to something you need to let go of perhaps?”
● “What is the worst thing that could happen? Can you live with that?”
● “What are you not telling me?”

Acknowledge ourselves, we must have confidence to just be there to be company with the client for their journey.
