Questions are the backbone of coaching, and while some say there is never a bad question, the most powerful questions unlock insights and move people forward to their aspirational future. Most coaches are familiar with the three levels of listening: listen to respond, listen to understand and listen to emotions. Although it takes many disciplined hours of practice to listen at level three, there is a higher level: listening for the future to emerge. Join this session to learn how to use your strengths to craft powerful questions and listen at the fourth level.

Objectives:

• Understand the components of how to listen at the fourth level.
• Learn the anatomy of powerful questions.
• Consider how knowing your strengths can improve your questioning and listening.
• Leave prepared to apply fourth-level listening and powerful questioning in your role and your coaching.
