Question Intelligence™

Question Intelligence™

Better Collaboration. Better Coaching. Better Results.

Previously offered as Change Your Questions, Change Your Results: How Mindsets and Questioning Empower Successful Coaching, this 10-hour hybrid course keeps the proven Question Thinking™ foundation and organizes the experience around developing Question Intelligence.

Question Intelligence™ strengthens the coach's own presence as well as the questions they use with clients. Coaches learn to recognize the questions shaping their thinking and coaching presence, activate Learner Mindset, listen with deeper curiosity, pause and Switch from Judger, and use questions that help clients think, choose, and take greater ownership.

Coaches often work with clients who are under pressure or facing uncertainty and complexity. The course gives them ways to notice automatic reactions and somatic signals, pause before responding, and help clients create more choice before reaching for the familiar answer.

Across four live sessions and approximately two hours of guided digital learning and practice, participants apply Question Thinking™ to real coaching situations, Learning Partner work, and between-session experiments. In this course, participants develop the Question Intelligence to:

• recognize the questions shaping their own coaching presence;
• activate and sustain greater Learner mindset;
• recognize and interrupt automatic patterns that intensify under pressure;
• listen with greater curiosity and awareness;
• distinguish between asking questions and using questions effectively;
• help clients think for themselves without directing, fixing, or supplying the answer;
• share the Choice Map as a practical self-coaching tool;
• help clients create greater choice and ownership when the coach is not present;
• and connect questions to learning, decisions, actions, and results.

The course is foundational for life coaching, business coaching, executive coaching, leadership coaching, relationship coaching, and other coaching applications. It also continues the course's established alignment with emotional intelligence and positive psychology while giving coaches more room to practice, reflect, and apply the work.
