Questions — reality

Use when claims about the situation are vague or untested, or they’ve skipped what’s already been tried.

Questions — reality

Do not paste the list at the coachee. Pick one question. Invent a sharper one if you have it.

Understand — when things are placed enough that ordinary “what’s true now” questions help. Not instead of Map craft. See Getting to the real point.

Pick from

  • What's happening right now?
  • How did that go?
  • What's the problem or concern right now?
  • What's going well at the moment?
  • What have you tried?
  • What did you notice — specifically?
  • Who else is affected?
  • What have you got control over here?
  • What's getting in the way?
  • If you zoom out, what else is true?
  • What evidence are you using — and what might you be missing?

Stop

One question asked. Unfinished line → Stay with. Leading others stuck → Leadership lens router. New big thing → Map.
