Goal Setting Questions – 15 Examples

Effective questioning is a key element of good coaching, including goal setting questions. (It’s the G from GROW)

Here are 15 questions you can use during the Goal Setting phase using the GROW model – the first step of the coaching process

  1. What is the aim of this discussion?
  2. What would need to happen for you to walk away feeling that this time was well spent?
  3. If I could grant you a wish for this session, what would it be?
  4. What would you like to happen that is not happening now, or what would you like not to happen that is happening now?
  5. What outcome would you like from this session/discussion/interaction?
  6. Can we do that in the time we have available?
  7. What do you want to achieve long term?
  8. What does success look like?
  9. How much personal control or influence do you have over your goal?
  10. What would be a milestone on the way?
  11. When do you want to achieve it by?
  12. Is that realistic?
  13. Is that positive, challenging, attainable?
  14. Will that be of real value to you?
  15. How will you measure it?
