Summary of Tony Stoltzfus's Coaching Questions - E-book - ePub

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 The asking approach changes the relationship between you and the person you're talking to, and it forces you to listen more intently. Asking questions also redefines your relationships with others. #2 There are five key reasons to ask instead of tell: all the information is with the coachee, asking creates buy-in, asking empowers people, asking develops leadership capacity, and asking creates authenticity. #3 The Master of Asking schedule is a ten-week weight-training program for your asking muscles.
It includes a 60 to 75 minute phone or in-person peer session where you practice on each other, as well as one exercise to try out on your own during the week. #4 To build a stronger repertoire of life coaching skills, sign on for another ten weeks with your peer coach and do the exercises below. You can work on the exercises on your own and then just discuss the results, but you'll get more practice if you coach your peer through the exercises right in your sessions.
