What People Say
"I’d been exposed to coaching before, but after this program I was able to use questioning techniques to help one of my staff members prioritise his work schedule. I kept asking questions such as “Why……” and “Why did you make that decision?” and What will happen if…”, so that he would know what were the important issues. I think it gives anyone a real boost in confidence if they can sort out their own concerns; and it feels good to be able to help – just by asking the right questions."
