Questions and More...

In this solo episode of PRIME SPACE, Elias Scultori, MCC, invites coaches to rethink one of coaching’s most essential tools: **questions**. How can we enhance the dimension and range of our coaching questions?Elias explores how questions shape awareness, expand perspective, and unlock client potential. He introduces a clear, practical distinction between questions that explore the present (“what is”) and those that push clients beyond their current thinking (“what could be”).
