LCI QUESTION OF THE WEEK

jun 9th: What do you notice?

This open, versatile question empowers someone to tap into how they are feeling or notice how they are reacting to a particular situation. It becomes a powerhouse when tagged onto another question. For example, “imagine yourself in the future when you have already achieved that goal. What do you notice?”. It works wonders to help someone clarify where they want to go and how to get there.

JUN 16TH: What would that do for you?

What a great follow-up question to use when someone is coming up with actions & ideas. It helps the person explore the benefits resulting from the action, deepening meaning, and commitment. Imagine if someone says they want to exercise every day, and you ask them, what will that do for you? They might talk about having more energy, being present for their children, feeling stronger, or any other meaningful outcomes. Try this follow-up question and let us know how it goes.

jun 23rd: What experience can you draw on from the past?

We often get stuck around a particular scenario, but when we are asked this question, we realize that we can draw on past experiences to find ideas and strengths that we can apply to our current challenge.

JUN 30th: What would your mentor say?

Another great question that creates a perspective shift, this gets your coachee to step into the shoes of someone they look up to. Looking at their situation from the outside allows someone to see different possibilities, ideas, and solutions they may not have considered.
