🎊Bonus: Solve a hard problem immediately with these 5 questions
Most people don't like to be told what to do!
But they do value being heard, understood and assisted in solving problems.
A lot of executive coaching is exactly this ->
asking high quality questions + listening attentively = create space for self-reflection
Here is a simple set of 5 questions to help someone solve a problem immediately:
1. What problem are you are trying to solve?
2. Why do you care about this problem?
3. What have you tried so far to solve this problem?
4. What might you try doing that you haven't tried yet?
5. What would you encourage a friend with the same problem to do as a first step?
Try this out with a friend/colleague and let me know how it works for them and for you!
