Questions of width<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As coaches, we often play with two types of questions:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\r\n<li>Questions of width, and<\/li>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<li>Questions of depth.<\/li>\r\n<\/ol>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Questions of width expand the variety of options in one particular domain. It helps your client make new connections between seemingly unrelated subjects.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>For example, if your client shares a story of what activities they particularly enjoy, you can inspire them to go further by asking, \u201c<em>What else?<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: I enjoy playing badminton.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: What else?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: I also enjoy playing football.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: What else do you do, even if you don\u2019t enjoy it as much?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: Writing.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: What else do you enjoy doing after you write?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: I\u2019d go and cook, but that doesn\u2019t feel as great as I\u2019d like it to.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: What else doesn\u2019t feel as great as you\u2019d like it to?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>It\u2019s like you\u2019re in a dark room with a flashlight pointing at everything one by one. Questions of width explore all parts of a particular topic, giving you more to play with.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-2-questions-of-depth\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">2. Questions of depth<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Questions that go deep wouldn\u2019t necessarily help paint a bigger picture\u2014unless the depth of the question is relatable to everybody.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Here\u2019s an example:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: I don\u2019t feel so good today.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: Who are you? Who doesn\u2019t feel so good?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This question often startles clients because it\u2019s not self-explanatory, nor is it something clients think about regularly.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Clients first assume that you\u2019re asking them about their personality or the way they see themselves. But that\u2019s not really the point, which is why you need to ask this question several times.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>The point is to help your client understand who they are beyond their thoughts and feelings.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: I feel like I need the courage to do something, but I can\u2019t get myself to do it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: I understand that you experience certain thoughts that may make you believe that you don\u2019t have courage. But that aside, who are you, and who is thinking that thought?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: I don\u2019t know; it comes automatically.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: Okay. But who are you? Who is observing this thought?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Client pauses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>There\u2019s something peculiar about reminding our clients of who they are\u2014which isn\u2019t their body or their minds. It gives them immense power because suddenly, the thought they had about themselves is identified as nothing more than just that: a thought.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>This coaching question goes deeper into the issue your client is facing and helps them look at the bigger picture. They often come back reporting new, unexpected events unfolding in their lives and things that felt stuck moving again.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h3 id=\"h-3-the-mind-map\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">3. The mind map<\/h3>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Grab a physical or virtual whiteboard and write down your client\u2019s ideas while you guide them through this process.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Start with the primary challenge they\u2019re facing. For example:<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: My business isn\u2019t growing anymore.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: Tell me what value your business is currently delivering to its clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: It\u2019s an advertising agency. So it brings them new customers they previously couldn\u2019t reach?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: Great. What else?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: It also helps them explore audiences they may want to consider as potential clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: Fantastic. How many clients are you currently serving with this value proposition?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: Five.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: To grow your business, would you rather want to serve more clients or serve your current clients more?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: Serve more clients.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: Great. How many more clients are you looking for?<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Client<\/strong>: Five.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p><strong>Coach<\/strong>: Tell me all the growth strategies you\u2019ve tested so far.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>Client pauses.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>As you draw out your client\u2019s thoughts on a whiteboard, two things happen. First, they stop circling back and forth in their minds without a conclusion. Second, they inevitably see the white spaces on the board.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>These white spaces are all new opportunities, strategies, and connection points. Once you\u2019ve identified these avenues, you can help them create a plan to achieve their set goal.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<h2 id=\"h-expand-your-frame-of-mind\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Expand your frame of mind<\/h2>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>These <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/ai-in-coaching\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">powerful coaching<\/a> tools can facilitate insight, reveal new connections and opportunities, and foster a refreshed, positive attitude.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>If you want to refresh your current frame of mind with some visionary thinking, join us in the free <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/certs\/life\/masterclass?utm_source=blog_inline_link&amp;utm_campaign=launch_clc_jan_2023&amp;utm_medium=end_of_article&amp;otag=mv_blog_certs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\"><strong><em>Become a Mindvalley Certified Life Coach<\/em><\/strong><\/a> masterclass.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n<p>You\u2019ll learn how you can facilitate <a href=\"https:\/\/blog.mindvalley.com\/john-wolpert\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">massive breakthroughs<\/a> for your clients while building a profitable and meaningful career.<\/p>\r\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>To think bigger is to zoom out and see opportunities you didn&#8217;t spot before.

But that aside, who are you who is thinking that thought?<\/em><\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Client:&nbsp;<em data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">I don\u2019t know, it comes automatically.<\/em><\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Coach:&nbsp;<em data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Ok. But who are you who is observing the thought?<\/em><\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\"><em data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">Client pauses<\/em>.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">There\u2019s something peculiar that happens when we remind our clients of who they really are. That they\u2019re not their body. And that they\u2019re also not their mind. It first gives them immense power, because suddenly whatever thought that may have been troublesome is identified as a thought and nothing more.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">This particular question goes deeper into the subject matter, and yet it helps expand thinking because the answer inevitably lets you zoom out and look at the big picture. It\u2019s a sure way to get your clients to step out of their own thinking and see the bigger picture.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">If you help your clients expand their thinking and form new connections, you\u2019ll often see them take so much action that you can\u2019t follow up. They\u2019ll often report that so many things happened in their weeks, that it feels like things started moving again.<\/p><p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">To explore a bunch of these questions and pick the ones that could be helpful for you, get&nbsp;<a data-uw-styling-context=\"true\" href=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/powerful-questions\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"tve-froala\" style=\"outline: none;\" aria-label=\"Evercoach\u2019s 21 powerful questions toolkit - opens in new tab\" uw-rm-external-link-id=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/powerful-questions$evercoach\u2019s21powerfulquestionstoolkit\" data-uw-rm-brl=\"false\" data-uw-rm-ext-link=\"na\">Evercoach\u2019s 21 powerful questions toolkit<\/a> and share it with your clients, too.<\/p><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\" data-css=\"tve-u-17bde0ac76d\" style=\"\">\t<h3 data-uw-styling-context=\"true\" style=\"\" data-css=\"tve-u-17bde07a057\" class=\"\">Think Bigger Tool #3: The Mind Map<\/h3><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper tve_image_caption\" data-css=\"tve-u-17bde098cbb\" style=\"\"><span class=\"tve_image_frame\"><img class=\"tve_image wp-image-16035\" alt=\"\" data-id=\"16035\" width=\"660\" data-init-width=\"2560\" height=\"440\" data-init-height=\"1707\" title=\"markus-winkler-aYPtEknQmXE-unsplash\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.mindvalley.com\/coach\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/markus-winkler-aYPtEknQmXE-unsplash-scaled.jpg\" data-width=\"660\" data-height=\"440\" role=\"presentation\" data-uw-rm-ima=\"un\"><\/span><\/div><div class=\"thrv_wrapper thrv_text_element\">\t<p data-uw-styling-context=\"true\">The last tool I\u2019d love to address here is the Mind Map.
