Probing/Digging questions

   • What do you want to do (today, now)?

   • What would you like to think about?

   • What would you like to talk about to make it useful for you?

   Questions for developing the coachee's ideas:

   • Would you like to add to [words of the coachee]? Anything else? One more
   thing?

   • Can you elaborate a little more?

   • How do you understand that?

   • I'll try to summarize it (sum it up) - what comes to your mind?

   • What would you ask yourself now?

   • What is happening (now)?

   • How much is it "happening" - on a scale of 1 to 10, with 10 being the
   most and 1 the least.

                                  GOALS (GROW)

   Positively worded: What do you want to do/to have/to reach instead? (when
   the goal of the coachee is formulated negatively)

   Under the influence of the coachee: How much is it under your influence?
   (e.g. on a scale of 1 to 10)

   Outcome-oriented rather than activity-oriented: What will it bring to you?

   Measurable: How do you know that you already have it / that it is going
   well?

   Questions specifying the goal:

   • What exactly do you mean by [coachee's words]?

   • What do you imagine under that [words of the coachee]?

   • You are talking about [words of the coachee], then also about [words of
   the coachee], and also about [words of the coachee]. What would you like
   to do/to talk about now?

   • What do you mean by that?

   • What is the most crucial/critical (for you)?
