This 6 coaching steps help clients achieve what they believe are impossible (3).
Guiding questions
Questions that invite the coachee to look beyond problems and obstacles to possibilities and future outcomes
When the client got stuck in a problem, a question that shifts the perspective from the problem (how things are now) to the solution (how the coachee would want things to be) can be very powerful.
Few examples:
- If anything was possible what would be your ideal course of action?
- What would it look like in the next 1 or 2 years from now?
- What would be the ideal way to set this up?
- What would be a fulfilling means to get there?
- What would you feel then?
- What would you gain by being open in this situation?
- What options do you have for moving forward? What else?
- How have you handled this successfully in the past?
- Who do you know who has been in a similar situation…(wait for response)… how did they handle the situation?
- If you were advising a friend what would you suggest?
Some suggestions for Tools and practices that will encourage possibility thinking:
- Meditation
- Visualization
- Lateral thinking
- Brain Storming
- Journaling
Conclusion
It is important for everyone to understand everything is possible and nothing is impossible. Impossible do not necessarily exist if they really tried to get the things done. People said impossible as they do not want to take action and make commitment. Without action, there is no risk, no learning and no opportunity to grow for excellence.
When we get a vision or an impulse to change, if we change the question of from “Is this possible?” to “How might we make this possible?” we are moving on the direction to success. Nothing is impossible if you put your heart on it. Nothing is easy if you don’t try your best. The answer is when we think this way, it can turn what impossible into possible.
Coaching inspires clients to be able to view things in new ways or from a different perspective. Good coaching turns on the possibilities that create your new uniqueness and life journeys.
