Your 5 Coaching Questions

Your Five Coaching Questions

1. What do you want?
   Imagine you’re sitting across from your future self, five years older. What do you want that version of you to be celebrating? Maybe it’s paying off debt, launching a business, leading a team, or running a marathon. Be bold here—vague wishes rarely change lives.

2. What is preventing you from achieving it?
   Look in the mirror. Sometimes the obstacles are external—lack of resources, time, or connections—but more often, they’re internal: procrastination, fear, or limiting beliefs. Those limiting beliefs could be around resources, time and connections.  The sooner you name them; the sooner you can confront them.

3. What happens if you don’t achieve it?
   Play this out honestly. If nothing changes, what will your life look like in a year? In five years? Will you regret not starting sooner? This question may sting, but pain can be a powerful motivator.

4. What happens if you do achieve it?
   Now flip it. Visualize the ripple effects of achieving your goal. How would your confidence grow? How would your relationships change? What new opportunities would open up? Often, this picture becomes the emotional fuel that keeps you moving forward.

5. What is one step you can take right now?
   It doesn’t have to be dramatic. Maybe it’s making a phone call, signing up for a class, or writing down the first 10 action steps. Small steps matter because they create momentum—and momentum compounds. Without the first step, there is no second.  Remember it is just a decision.  One decision followed by another.
