Channel Eye has joined forces with Royston Guest, leading Business Growth Coach and CEO/Founder of Pathways Global, in our series, ‘Ask the Business Coach’.
Great coaching is not about having all the answers. It’s about asking better questions, building trust, and helping people unlock their own potential.
While every coach develops their own style, the most effective coaches consistently demonstrate a core set of skills that inspire growth, accountability, confidence, and lasting change.
Three key takeaways
- The quality of the questions you ask will determine the quality of the answers you receive.
- Be a great listener.
- It’s not about knowing when to be silent; it’s about knowing when to break the silence.
Episode timestamps
- [0.56] The questions you ask need to cut through the noise and drill down into the problem, challenge, or opportunity. It’s pointless to ask the questions if you’re not tuned into the answers that come back. People want a great listener, not a great talker.
- [1.45] When you’ve asked your question, remember to pause. When you ask your probing questions, it’s about knowing how long to wait before interrupting their thought process.
- [3.00] These skills are transferable and can be used in both your personal and professional life.
