Tools in the sense of ‘anything useful’ (adopting Kevin Kelly’s definition).

I think “And what else?” is the best coaching question in the world. It does two things: It extends the period of curiosity, and it tames your advice monster.

This reminds me of a recent HBR article on ‘asking smarter questions’. The list goes:

What’s known?
What if?
Now what?
So what?
What’s unsaid?

Granted, in isolation, the list is a bit cryptic. If intrigued, refer to the original article: https://hbr.org/2024/05/the-art-of-asking-smarter-questions
