Coaching for Growth and Success

Coaching isn’t about giving answers—it’s about helping others find their own. Great leaders ask thoughtful questions that spark insight and action.

Try these coaching strategies:

• Use “What” questions: Instead of “Why did you do this?” ask, “What were you aiming to achieve?”

• Practice deep listening: Pause and truly hear their perspective. My favorite phrase to use here is “Tell me more.”

• Restrain your impulse to provide the answers: The people you are coaching should be formulating next steps—not you.

These simple coaching strategies build trust, accountability, and growth in those you lead.
