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”). Together, these two categories create clarity, challenge assumptions, and open the door to possibility and transformation.

The episode is full of practical examples and sample questions that can inspire you to craft even more powerful questions.
