In this reflective and engaging episode of The Coaching Book Club Podcast, Christy and Ken dive into Humble Inquiry (Third Edition) by Edgar and Peter Schein. Through thoughtful storytelling and real coaching moments, they unpack the central premise of the book: asking better questions—with presence, trust, and humility—can transform coaching and leadership.

Listen as they explore:

• Why humble inquiry is the coach’s job description.
• How slowing down builds deeper trust and clearer outcomes.
• What the Johari Window reveals about blind spots and coaching presence.
• The danger of defaulting to advice-giving (especially with clients or kids).
• How intimacy and vulnerability show up in professional coaching spaces.

Whether you’re newly certified or a seasoned coach, this episode will invite you to rethink the role of questions in your practice.
