ABSTRACT
This chapter explores the range of coaching question frameworks available in the marketplace, for example those of John Whitmore, Nancy Kline and Jinny Ditzler. A framework is a structure that tends to be linear, progressive and visible. It examines creative uses of existing question frameworks. The chapter also explores coaching models in depth, examining how question frameworks are integrated into those models. It considers various linear question processes which help coaches explore client issues from a neutral perspective, that is, one that is non-directive of the client. The chapter suggests that the team and the organization depend on the individual achieving their goals. In order to do so, goals must be in alignment with internal drivers or motivators, otherwise there will be internal conflict or stress. It introduces a range of question frameworks that help structure the business coaching conversation. It is useful to begin to develop own range of questions as they relate to coaching model.
