I don't know what the question is or will be but I will know it once it lands in my client's mind - so will they!
I don’t know what the question is or will be but I will know it once it lands in my client’s mind – so will they! How so? Their voice, words, body movement, eyes, will tell me. Their minds, their heart, their gut will tell them.
A question is something that seems simple at the outset but can become very complex and emotive once the right question is received.
The right question opens up thoughts, ideas, inspiration, memories, and so much more.
One day I was talking with a client in a rare face to face meeting. We were talking about a challenge he was having with an employee group and communication challenges that surround them. I had asked several questions to dive into the situation then, POW, the right question came out at the right time. I saw my client’s shoulders drop, I asked what just happened. He said he just realized what he had been doing that was negatively impacting the situation; the ownership he had in the situation. From there we talked about the changes he wanted to make to move forward. Over the coming weeks and months his professional life really started to change. He took control, made some changes to his style and actions – his team responded.
A question may just be the spark to something amazing!
