“A question works because, unlike a statement which requires you to obey, a question requires you to think. The mind seems to prefer to think, not to obey.”

Time to Think
Today I wanted to write about another resource. I have shelves full of personal development and coaching related books, many that are superb. So picking the one to write about first is a challenge but one I have happily undertaken.

Time to Think is one of my favourite coaching books and I find it can also be a really powerful questioning technique. Yes, I know you may have covered questioning on any coaching training you’ve done but have you done it this way?
The book will take you through the whole process and how to craft a personalised question. It’ll be a unique question that when formed correctly really gets to the core of the situation allowing clarity and ease to follow. I encourage you to use it for yourself in a specific context so that you can experience for yourself the impact it can have.
PS I’m very excited by the fact we have our first guest post starting next week, and the list is growing with a real mix of people who have agreed to write a post. I want a real mix of topics, opinions and approaches and certainly by those who have offered and agreed so far Friday posts are certainly going to provide that.
Keep visiting and watching the twitter feed for details about who is coming each week.
