This post is part of the 📖 The Coaching Habit series.


Today, I am reading a new chapter Question Masterclass Part 2 from the book The Coaching Habit written by Author, Michael Bungay Stanier.

Info! 💬
By reading this book The Coaching Habit, by Michael Bungay, coaching becomes a regular, informal part of your day. You can work less hard and have more impact. Get straight to the point in any conversation with The Kickstart Question. Stay on track during any interaction with The Awe Question. Save hours of time for yourself with The Lazy Question, and hours of time for others with The Strategic Question. Get to the heart of any interpersonal or external challenge with The Focus Question and The Foundation Question. Finally ensure others find your coaching as beneficial as you do with The Learning Question.

Yesterday, I read some sections of The Kickstart Question from the book.

Tomorrow, I will be reading a new chapter The AWE Question. Look out for tomorrow’s article.

I WILL

Ask the question. (And then shut up to listen to the answer.)

Cut the intro and go to the point and if you must have a lead-in phrase, try “Out of curiosity.” It lessens the “heaviness” of any question.
