We were at a crossroads—my client faced a decision that could change everything. This was the moment for the perfect question, the one that would unlock clarity and direction. But as I sat there, something unexpected happened that shifted the entire conversation. What unfolded next taught me more about coaching than any question ever could.

Sometimes it’s quite challenging to get people to talk. I decided to use the lovely open questions from Michael Bungay Stanier’s book and keep myself from chiming in.
It did not go too smoothly at first, and my Baltic team was rather confused. 
My story is about the tricky moments in using open questions and what happened to my people and myself.

What happens when you stop giving advice and start asking questions?

Luckily, I discovered coaching early on, but my impatient nature led me to rush its implementation. I’ll reflect on the traps I fell into.  I learned that true coaching requires more than techniques—it demands patience, presence, and alignment with organisational culture.
