Coaching tip on when to ask a HOW question

About this lesson

I have often seen coaches ask, "How will you do that?" too early in the conversation. It is important to understand what the person wants to create or change and what needs to be resolved for them to take the next step before asking them how they will achieve their goal. Even if they know how, what is stopping them from doing what they know? When you explore how they see and judge their situation, they will often blurt out how they will proceed on their own, with clarity and confidence.
