• A Powerful question is one that invites you to think along a certain path
• It opens a doorway to discover more about you
• It helps to identify what stands in your way
• It provides you with an opportunity to move forward armed with more information

• You are infinitely creative. All creation has three stages.
• First you have the idea: Thought. Then you place a framework around how it might work by discussing and planning: Word. Then you proceed to act: Deed.
• Great in theory.
• However, oftentimes, for whatever reason, you don't even get past Thought. Maybe you fear failure, doubt your own ability or perhaps you simply lose the momentum because you are accountable only to yourself.
• A coach provides another pair of ears that heard you commit to completing your goals within a certain timeframe.

• The coaching relationship always works from your agenda, no-one else’s
• Your goals are drawn from your desires
• The tasks and drive toward the completion of those goals are linked directly to the desired outcome
• This is a compelling goal. One that you are drawn towards rather than feeling pushed to complete
• Compelling goals offer alternatives when we encounter obstacles. There’s always another way to achieve your ultimate goal

• Sometimes you are your own worst enemy
• Confusion masks all you have learned and the obstacle you face can appear insurmountable
• The coach is the gate keeper of your learning, pointing to your strengths, referring to your values and highlighting the positive impact you have already brought to bare
