Good Questions

Beyond Question:

Transformational Coaching at your Fingertips

The Power of Really Good Questions

by Steve Marriott

Ask yourself this…

“When was the last time someone asked you a really good question?”

“What was it and what effect did it have on you?”

Successful coaches understand that asking questions is crucial, but not just any questions. Powerful, transformational and lasting coaching requires questions that go beyond the norm. Questions that dig deep, create options and compel action.

Whatever your style of coaching or learning, I’ve got the perfect questions for you.

Get unstuck

I’ve been a professional coach for over a decade now and helped hundreds of people get unstuck, make better decisions and achieve success they’d only previously dreamed of. Alongside this, I have helped a growing community of coaches, leaders and business people to radically transform the results of their coaching. The key to this is asking good questions.

Inspire committed action

The real difference between an effective coaching meeting and a chat is the quality of the questions you ask. Good questions have the power to not only challenge your current thinking, but also to transform your experience and compel you to take massive and positive action.

I’ve distilled everything I’ve learned about this truth and created a collection of 94 of the very best questions:

Beyond Question is your instant coaching solution that will provide these benefits:

Some good questions you may be asking yourself…..

But don’t I need to be a qualified coach?

You don’t need to be a coach to ask good questions. I’ve attended many coaching workshops and qualification programmes. They all offer their own models and processes to help you deliver effective coaching. What they don’t offer is the high quality questions that make a real and lasting difference to those you coach.

Don’t I need to be a subject matter expert?

Powerful, lasting and transformational solutions come from the mind and heart of those you coach. Sometimes a little bit of knowledge can actually work against you as a coach. Beyond Question will allow you to coach anyone about anything without them telling you what it is!

But they’re just cards…

Yes they are and that is their strength. Combining the playfulness and simplicity of a deck of cards, people using Beyond Question are instantly discovering the power of a good question and creating new strategies to effect change for themselves and others.

How do they work?

Beyond Question Coaching Cards are simple to use. Discover yourself creating enjoyable and impactful coaching instantly. No more pages of process and framework. Beyond Question cards make the coaching journey fun and engaging. They create an organic conversation that can go wherever you choose. Good questions can be answered directly, put to one side or revisited time and again.

Each of our Beyond Question decks have been colour coded to indicate the degree of challenge each question poses. Within each deck you’ll find enough good questions to help you build rapport and explore outcomes before moving on to higher challenge and deeper thinking. What you’ll also get are some of the best ‘coaching follow on’ tips and tactics; those extra words, prompts and activities to make your question even more effective
