In coaching, questions are the route to progress.

Questions enable the people being coached to arrive at their own solutions and, crucially, to 'own' them as well.

The effectiveness of this tool applies to anyone in a coaching role, whether as a leader, a professional coach, or a people management executive.

A good question, asked at the right moment, can be transformative. Great questions allow coaches to influence, develop and shape someone's thinking far beyond that of their own knowledge or area of expertise, propelling the learner to new levels of insight, awareness, action and effectiveness.
