MCC Powerful Questions for Leaders Using PRISM Model

🔴 P – PREPARE

Creating intentional space for self-awareness, clarity, and vision.

🔹 Vision & Identity

• What future are you being called to lead into — not just manage?

• Who are you becoming through this leadership journey?

• What legacy do you want your leadership to leave behind?

• What’s the bigger “why” behind your current challenge?

• If nothing needed to be fixed, what would you be free to envision?

🟡 R – RESPECT

Honoring the client’s values, wisdom, emotions, and unique leadership path.

🔹 Values & Emotional Agility

• What values are guiding this decision — and which ones are missing?

• What part of your identity is being challenged right now?

• How are you using your power: to protect, to control, or to elevate others?

• What emotion are you resisting, and what wisdom might it offer?

• How might you lead from vulnerability without losing authority?

🟢 I – IMPLEMENT

Supporting the client to take meaningful, conscious, and value-aligned action.

🔹 Strategy & Innovation

• What possibilities have you not allowed yourself to explore yet?

• What assumptions are shaping your current strategy — are they still valid?

• What permission do your people need — that only you can give?

• What shift in you would catalyze the change you want to see around you?

• What needs to be unlearned to lead effectively in this context?

🔵 S – SHARE

Creating space to express insight, voice inner wisdom, and own breakthroughs.

🔹 Team & Culture Awareness

• What conversations are your team members having when you’re not in the room?

• What truth about yourself are you ready to acknowledge as a leader?

• What might shift if you led with curiosity instead of certainty?

• What conversation are you avoiding that could unlock momentum?

• How do you want others to feel when you speak — not just hear what you say?

🟣 M – MAINTAIN

Sustaining awareness, alignment, and commitment beyond the session.

🔹 Reflection & Long-Term Leadership Growth

• What part of the system are you unconsciously reinforcing?

• What would courage look like in this exact moment?

• What are you now seeing that you couldn’t see before?

• What commitment are you walking away with — to yourself, not just your role?
