Summary

This is episode 1109 of the Arete Coach Podcast with host Severin Sorensen which explores the art and science of executive coaching. In this episode, we revisit the topic of powerful questioning. Have you ever wondered what makes a question powerful? The power of the question is not the question but the response it awakens. In this episode, we review seven defining characteristics of an essential question that can be used to seed great questions. We explore dozens of powerful questions that can be used in executive coaching settings. We also review powerful questions used as tools by outstanding executive coaches previously interviewed in the Arete Coach Podcast series.

In this episode are powerful questions offered by great executive coaches drawn from prior episodes of the Arete Coach Podcast (AC): Richard Bosworth (ACe:1001); Ozzie Gontang (AC e:1002); Divya Jegasundaram (AC e:1003); Bill Clark (AC e:1004); Norma Rosenberg (AC e:1005); Glenn Waring (AC e:1006); Steve Ramerini (AC e:1007); Adam Harris (AC e:1008); Sally Rhoads, LCSW (AC e:1027); and Alan Weinstein (ACP e:1029).
