My biggest takeaways are creating more space (#3) and don’t stop at one answer (#5). Two actions to do this week: ask one question at a time and stop bobble head. Thank you!

Thanks Micheal! My 2 takeaways were: 1. No bobble-heading or murmuring (learn to shut up!) 2. No planning. The answer will come to me. My action is to get directly to the question and to stop the bobble-heading, in silence! I’m going to pass the video to my friend and colleague.

Amazing webinar! I realized that I'm usually the one who cracks first when there's a huge silence, when silence is very powerful! So I'll let my coachees be the ones who crack first. 2: No intro or planning of my questions! Just be brave and throw the question. Action: Print the 5 disciplines and read them every morning before coaching.

what a great webinar! :) loved it absolutely. takeaways for me are no planning (the question will come to you) , no asking fake question, no advice.... my action is i want to be more genuinely listening, and no bobble-heading...

Great video: Two things: No bobble-heading (difficult) and "No Planning" (even more difficult). Actions: Make a post it and place it rigth in front of me before the coaching sessions. Thank you!

My takeaways - stop bobble heading and thinking of the next question. I also love the “And what else” and “Is there anything else”

Thanks so much, Michael! Two things I learnt: 'No bobble-heading' and 'No Planning', rather being really present with the other person and what they have to say and remaining curious. My action is to watch when I am defaulting to 'planning' and remaining present.

Excellent advice, Michael. All college professors would benefit from this and perhaps better engage our 18 year olds!

Thank you, Michael! This was super helpful. I benefited most from the tip to stay quiet. I never really thought about people needing a quiet time to answer. But of course they would if you're asking a powerful question!

Great advice. I think the two for me to really work on are #1 and #5.

Thank you. Great insight and love the presentation. Sticky. So...Cain it-is something I learned as a sales tip long ago. I learned it like this......after you present or 'make the ask', the next person who talks, loses.

A.W.E sounds very helpful. Thank you. And also I will avoid talking about what they ask me ex. My Boston marathon. I will try to convert what they say to a good question.

Exceptional question asking.

Concise and insightful (as always!). Thanks, Michael!

OUTSTANDING!

Great vid thankyou. My take aways are don't over complicate questions be direct and A.W.E and Is there anything else and no bobbleheading. I Action I will take is to focus on what they're saying and A.W.E Thanks again.. I've Subscribed and look forward to more vids.

Thank you..Michael

Two: So out of curiosity? and Don't stop at one question.

Keep questions to 5 words or less and stop mining. Thank you!

Back in my corporate days - we had a VP take us on a week business trip (away from my family) and this VP spent the whole week (with pre-print overhead transparencies) MINING our group and asking FAKE questions... so they believed they would give us ownership of their idea and they could return and tell the company about our (their) great idea/plan. WHAT A BUNCH OF BS and a waste of time... ugh. Michael - Thank you for breaking down how to ask great questions eh... "and what else" are you working on that would help with asking great questions? :-)

Nice little video. I'm curious how practical it is to keep a good question to 5 words or less like you suggest in Discipline #1? In Discipline #5 you give one of your favourite questions as an example ("What's the real challenge here for you?") which is pretty short & direct but already 7 words.

1. Shorten/simplify the question 2. Listening - stop planning response insight: hearing from a place of curiosity, keep digging action: shut up!

1. Bobble-heading and grunting doesn't mean I am focusing. 2. Ask then shut up!

The other great takeaway is killing the intro to the question. So often we do that. I’ve also been taught not to stack questions and you allude to that as well under “shut up”.

Could someone explain what "cain it" means? I am not a native English speaker. A search of the phrase does not return any useful results.

Knee pain

Cut the intro and just ask the question. Stop the bobble heading.
