 Why should you take this course?

Designed specifically for anyone delivering coaching, this micro-course provides practical, transformative strategies to handle one of the most common hurdles in any session: the "I don't know" response.

Whether you are new to coaching or an experienced professional, 'Using I Don't Know' will equip you with the psychological tools to remain calm, stay curious, and keep the ownership of the thinking firmly with your client.

 What You Will Master

This isn't just about ‘waiting it out’ it is a diagnostic system for high-impact coaching. Over 5 mini-modules, you will explore:

Narrow the Question
Master the ability to make questions smaller, not easier, by focusing on timeframe, context, or scale to move from vague stuckness to specific thinking.

Creating Options
Learn to offer structured directions and categories without giving the answer, helping the client restart their thinking when they are genuinely stuck.

The Power of Reflection
Identify when a response is emotionally loaded and use neutral, observant reflections to uncover what is happening underneath the surface.

The Diagnostic Mindset
Develop the skill to sense if a client is overwhelmed, if a question is too risky, or if they simply need a different doorway into the conversation.
