Future-oriented questions

Future-oriented questions invite the client to design what lies ahead and to build the direction they want. They are directly in tune with coaching's development focus; they look at tomorrow's possibilities rather than the past's causes. The question 'where would you want to be on this a year from now?' draws a direction. When a person sees where they are going, they choose today's steps according to that direction. A question that looks ahead brings hope along with it.
