Challenge

Good Coaches use Questions to Challenge: Thinking, Behaviour and Outcomes

THINKING Questions

Ask yourself: "What do I want this person to be thinking about, planning for, reflecting or considering?"

Examples

What new ideas or innovations are you specifically thinking about?
What have you been reflecting on after last week's meeting?
What needs to come into your thinking in order to move that forward?

BEHAVIOUR Questions

Ask yourself: "What are some things that this person says or does that I want them to take ownership for?"

Examples:

What have you done differently since the last time we met?
How often have you spoken to them since?
What exactly did you say when that happened?

OUTCOMES Questions

Ask yourself: "What results, achievements, progress or impacts do you want to challenge them on?"

Examples:

What has been the specific impact of what you have put in place?
How far off your objective are you currently forecast to finish?
What will happen to your results if you don't do that?
