Love the video, thanks! I have summarized the questions as I find it helpful to write things down (not meant as a replacement fir watching the video, but as an executive summary:)
1. If you knew you couldn't fail, what would you do?
2. How will achieving this goal help you and others around you?
3. What happens if you didn't achieve your goal?
4. What is the smallest first step you can take right now to make progress towards your goals?
5. By saying YES to this, what are you saying NO to?
6. What is really important to you?
7. What are you focusing on today?

I ask my clients what is important to them all the time. Its important especially when deciding how to structure the amount of time you'll spend on certain things in your business.

[KingShawn]

you are such an inspiring coach! 2 years old is this video, yet the message is as important as ever.
Thanks for all your work.

"What happens if you don't achieve this goal?" is also a good question to spot fake goals, that people are not actually motivated and drawn to (things that you THINK are your goals, but you really couldn't care less about it)

Very first thing I learned in my life coaching course was never use the word "Why".. The client might feel judged / attacked for the way they think or lived their life thus far... Example "Why do you think that?" vs, "What makes you think that?"...

[Lolifa]

Great questions! I especially liked the reminder that there is a clear distinction between pondering the past to get useful info versus processing the past, which might be too time-consuming, and might take time away from future-oriented questions.

[sydneys]

These are amazing questions! thank you for sharing. Some others I have heard that I thought were really good is asking what their love languages are, asking how they would like me to hold them accountable, and asking what their learning styles are <3

[kurtrosenberg]

I am so happy I found your channel. I am new to coaching and really appreciate the effort of sharing these insights.

[nirmalaautheymalam]

Hi Ajit wonderful session I really took notice of the aspects you talked about.

[aracelyaraiza]

Indeed, these are great questions to break the blocks in client’s mind! Thank you Ajit!

[ChrisWaterguy]

My number one question is "What's the most important thing?"

It's really clarifying and gets them out of drama and distraction into a higher level perspective.

Great video, thanks 🙏.

[vandarossdiana]

Thanks Ajit. Powerful questions to ask to myself and coachees. Those bring deep awareness to self being, goal, and actions. Awesome!

[leeholston]

This is a goldmine for someone like myself who is starting out in coaching! Thank you!

[bettymagsam]

These questions are very helpful thank u. The one thing that I learned is to only ask open ended questions to help the client really think and continue to talk 70% of the time. So why questions should not be asked because they can be answered with 1 word.

[yingtaowang]

Great video! Thank you for sharing these wonderful ideas!

[anneberitolsvik]
