About this template

Experienced coaches do not improvise questions under pressure, they reach for a set that has worked before. This worksheet groups questions by the moment they are needed - clarifying the goal, raising the stakes, naming the obstacle, finding resources, testing commitment - and adds a column to log which question shifted the conversation. Over a term it becomes evidence of your own best practice rather than a list.

Frequently Asked Questions

What are powerful coaching questions?
Open questions that move the client from describing to deciding - they assume the client has the answer and give them room to find it.
Is this a script?
No. It is a bank organised by session moment, so you choose rather than read.
How many questions should a session use?
A handful well spaced beats a rapid-fire list; the impact log helps you find your three that work.
Can I add my own?
Yes - every theme has a blank field, and the bank grows with your practice.
Does it produce a report?
No. It is a working question list you reach into mid-session; the log accumulates which questions actually moved clients.
Is it free to reuse?
Yes. Copy it into your FormLM workspace once and keep it as a working reference.
