DESCRIPTION:

A question asked at the ACC level sounds different from one asked at the MCC level. The words may be similar, but the intention behind them, the curiosity that drives them and the way they land for the client are not. In this hands-on session, Sophia Casey, MCC, shows how questions change as coaches grow through the credential levels, and why that change matters for the client.

Participants will watch a live demonstration in the Intention. Curiosity. Flow. (ICF)™ Practice Lab, where a coach works with a client. Then the group will review the feedback together: what worked, what could grow, and which questions could have opened the conversation further. Participants leave with a clearer sense of their own questioning and what the next level asks of them.

The session draws on Sophia's book, Intention. Curiosity. Flow. (ICF)™: Masterful Coaching Questions That Transform Conversations.

The book isn't required to take part, but if you'd like a copy ahead of the session, you'll find it on Amazon.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES

Distinguish how questions differ at the ACC, PCC and MCC levels
Recognize how intention and curiosity shape a question before it is asked
Assess a coaching conversation for missed questions that could have deepened client awareness
Pick one specific shift to move their own questioning toward the next credential level
