A closed question is a question that can be answered with a Yes\/No answer. They are used primarily to clarify facts and opinions.
Open questions, on the other hand, use the 5W1H (When – \u3044\u3064, Where – \u3069\u3053\u3067, Who – \u3060\u308c\u304c, What – \u306a\u306b\u3092, Why – \u306a\u305c, and How – \u3069\u306e\u3088\u3046\u306b). They can elicit expansive answers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Using too many closed questions can limit the range of answers, preventing the client from fully expressing what he or she wants to say, and thus undermine the effectiveness of the coaching session. They tend to become “leading questions.
Coaching questions are meant to “bring to the surface something in the other person,” and guiding questions should be avoided as a general rule. Caution is needed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In coaching, it is necessary to be able to use open questions freely. To use open questions, it is important to believe that the client has the answers. This is why we accept whatever answers we receive from the client.
Sometimes the client may give the coach harsh feedback. In coaching, the client is free and there are no restrictions on what he or she is not allowed to say. The coach needs to be aware of this and be prepared for it at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
