IIN Coaching Techniques 2

Question 1

Which motivational interviewing technique involves reflecting back an amplified version of what a client said to elicit their own counter-arguments?

Question 3

Exploring barriers with curiosity and compassion uncovers root causes and preserves the coaching alliance before making structural changes.

Question 4

Which question type is MOST effective for helping a client generate their own solutions?

Powerful open-ended questions
