Powerful Questions To Define Objetives - part I
Each of these questions can be the start of other ones using the “what”, “when”, “where” and “how”.
Do not make the mistake of structuring your session based on a series of pre-arranged questions.
As a Coach, you should have compassion for your client, which will allow you to put yourself in their shoes and analyze their reality, goals, frustrations, etc. This will provide you context to ask the question that suits the moment and situation during the Coaching session.
It’s more important to know how to listen than what to ask, but only with the right question, you could listen to what will allow you to move forward.
● What are your objectives?
● What do you want to achieve and why?
● Are your goals realistic?
● Are they ambitious enough so you don’t lose motivation quickly?
● What does your intuition tell you about the goal you want to achieve?
● If the objectives defined by the client are generic: Can you describe the objective in detail to the extent that it is measurable in some way?
● What would be your short term goals if you knew you have only 1 year left to live?
● What would your goals be if you knew you only had 1 month left to live?
● Imagine 5 years have passed and you feel proud of having achieved what you wanted. Create a list with the 5 accomplished goals that make you feel proud since then.
● Imagine that today you have achieved all the goals that are important for you. What do you still need to change?
● If life could be divided into areas such as health, money, love, family, physical condition, self-esteem, career/business, personal accomplishments, and leisure, would you be leaving an important part out?
● Which areas of your life do you have to work on because you need to improve it as soon as possible?
● Describe in a sentence the most important goal for you. If I told you that you can get even more, how would you improve that goal?
