Can you explore that?
13. March 2010 by Patricia.
In coaching circles we are often taught to respond to a client with a series of “Why” questions until she finds resolution. I’m not overly keen on the “Why” question because it is too often used as a form of manipulation: explain yourself! Instead I do like the “Are you willing to explore …..” question. Here’s how it goes:
“I don’t know if I’m hungry but I just want to eat” – Are you willing to explore that?
“I don’t want to … I just want to eat” – Are you willing to explore that?
“I don’t have the time right now” – Are you willing to explore that?
Asking this type of question can be very illuminating.
