Looking for Life Coaching Tools?

Phyllis Reradon M.Ed.
Life Coach


I am often asked what assessment tool I use in the initial session with a client, and the answer I give is two fold.

When I begin a session with a client one of the very first things I do is to ask them the following Question.

What do you really, really want in life & work? 

Even though we know as Coaches that you can not separate life and work and that it is all one and the same, many of our clients make a disticntion between their Life and their Work, so therefore I use 'work' in that question.

Many clients have never thought of Life in this way, I therefore use this as a starting point. From that First Question, many more Questions are asked as the client starts to discover themselves.


Life Coaching TOOLS


The most important tool for a Life Coach is his/her bank of Powerful Questions.

Socrates once said, 'It is not the answer that enlightens but the Question.'

As a Life Coach you need to have your Powerful Question Tool Box ready. No doubt, many times the question will have to be adjusted from one client to another but this then becomes part of the art of Life Coaching.

The following are Powerful Life Coaching Questions for you to use and are a sample of the powerful questions in my book Life Coaching Activities & Powerful Questions, available at Amazon.


1. What do you really, really, really want?
2. Why do you want it?
3. What is success to you?
4. What does it look like?
5. How will you know when you have become successful?
6. How will you know when you have found it?
7. What is holding you back from getting it?8. Do you believe you can get it?
9. What motivates you?
10. What are your intelligences and talents?
11. How can you make the greatest difference in your own life?
12. Who do you have to Become in order to achieve what you Want to achieve?

Powerful Life Coaching Questions---- How To Develop

Phyllis Reardon M.Ed.
Life Coach



As a Life Coach do you struggle sometimes to get just the right question to ask your client?


As all of the answers are within us, the questioning process is the key to life coaching.


Socrates said, “ Enlightenment lies not in the answer but in the question.”




Powerful Question Process


I have developed a process in my Life Coaching business that helps me in the development of Powerful Life Coaching Questions.


Preparation is essential to a successful life coaching session.


Prior to a session with a client:

1. I review the notes from my last session.

2. I re-read emails from my client.

3. I use this information to connect completely with my client’s needs and goals.

4. I clear my thoughts of everything else and focus solely on my client.

5. Powerful Question form and flow.

6. Write them down on paper…you will use them again.
