Currently reading Williams and Menendez' work Becoming a Professional Life Coach. The second chapter discusses the language of coaching. In it I discovered these five powerful questions [which I have paraphrased] and what they represent. I believe that if you can answer these, you're on your way to winning at life.

  1. How have you gotten to this point in your life?
  2. Are there any places in your life that you are feeling incomplete? 
  3. Are there any places in your life that require healing | closure?
  4. How do you care for | nurture yourself?
  5. If you knew success was guaranteed, what would you do different?

Why are these are powerful questions? The first gets at how a person sees themselves. It allows one to reflect on the past - crucial for insights on how to handle the future. The second two questions get at potential threats to winning - unfinished business that needs closure in order for one to achieve clarity. The fourth plants the seed of self-care - again crucial for future success. The last allows one to imagine  a different reality for onself.

"There is a huge amount of anxiety around our licensing exams. The coaching I received helped me to get into the correct mindset in the days before the exam. It really helped me to shift my focus  to ensuring that I was eating, sleeping, and thinking in a way that would allow me to perform my best." Dr BT
"I owe one of my jobs to Nadim. Just prior to the job interview I was feeling overwhelmed and lacking confidence. I called Nadim and he coached me for the interview. As we talked, his coaching really helped me put into perspective my skills, experience and vision. Having Nadim help me with the big picture put me at ease and I felt calm and confident going into that interview" Dr MW
