Always Take a Curious Stance Towards Life

This book is well set out and easy to understand. It is an excellent reference resource for aspiring coaches. I was seeking a list of questions but this book offers exercises to improve skills, mistakes to avoid and a structure for coaching sessions.
I particularly liked the section on `Starting Significant Conversations' which encourages the reader to always take a curious stance to life's interactions.
The section on `Coaching Niches' helps coaches to understand in which area they can best add value and has inspired me to pursue coaching in the area of occupational health and safety.

great resource for coaches (or anybody)

I forgot who said it, but the quote was something like, "Computers are worthless. They only give us answers."

Worthless without questions, of course. :)

If you want the right answers, you have to ask the right questions and this book is just the tool to help you do that.

If you're in the coaching business, you will definitely want this one. If not, but you're a curious person who wants to learn new things and improve your communication skills, you'll also benefit from the material here.

Coaching Questions: An Excellent Coaching Resource

In my experience, the use of "powerful questions" is the key to exceptional executive, personal, and/or employee performance/development coaching . Mr. Stoltzfus has done an outstanding job of providing a resource to help coaches use more powerful questions and has done so in a succinct and useful fashion. I personally like how he starts at the beginning of coaching with questions to help the person being coached (coachee) set specific and relevant goals and moves through the coaching process with questions designed to help address obstacles, probe deeper, etc. Other topics such as models for coaching (e.g., Whitmore's [Coaching for Performance, 4th edition[ASIN:185788535X Coaching for Performance, 4th Edition: GROWing Human Potential and Purpose (People Skills for Professionals)] GROW model and Stoltzfus funnel model), coaching process, SMART goals, life coaching, and coaching niches.

Whether an experienced coach and in training, this can be an extremely useful, practical, and valuable resource.
