In this episodes we’re discussing leading questions, and whether they’re really a big no-no, as often taught in coach training programmes, or whether there may be some value in offering direction as a coach, or even to ask questions in a way that makes the client think they’ve come up with the solution themselves, empowering in some way, manipulative if you look at it differently. We discuss the range of leading questions, the ethics of consciously leading your clients, the weight of taking on the responsibility when we choose to lead our clients, and the importance of supervision as to avoid leading in an unconscious way.  _____________________________CONTINUE THE CONVERSATION over in our Facebook community: https://www.facebook.com/groups/talkingaboutcoachingMORE DEEP DIVES into coaching at https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLEK9UENWT66D6uqPJhCznXNhc9Ba9jiteSHORT EPISODES of Talking about Coaching addressing specific questions: https://www.youtube.com/talkingaboutcoachingYou can also find us on all major podcast platforms.If you'd like to SUPPORT WHAT WE DO, please consider a positive review, leave a comment or tell a friend or colleague about this episode.You can also BECOME A PATREON at https://www.patreon.com/talkingaboutcoachingSEE GREAT COACHES IN ACTION by joining Yannick's Coaching Lab.
