Questions

Here’s a sampling of questions I ask myself and clients.

Each Day:

• How do I want this day/meeting/task to go?
• How can I shift my attitude or perspective to make this more fun or satisfying?
• What one “important, but not urgent” task will I do today?

End of Day:

• What has caught my attention today?
• What am I learning?
• What am I grateful for?

Everyone:

• What is my/our core purpose?  Hint: When have you felt most alive?
• When have I been truly courageous?  What supported me to be so courageous?
• Where do I/we want to be in five years, and what do I/we need to learn to get there?

Leaders

• What am I taking responsibility for that is better the responsibility of others?
• How can I create higher levels of trust and safety?
• What are my blind spots?

Entrepreneurs

• How can my business be a powerful force for good in the world?
• Who can I collaborate with to create win-win partnerships?
• If 80% of my results come from 20% of my effort, where should I be putting more of my time?

Change Agents

• Why am I doing what I do?  Am I too attached to the outcome?
• How can I better “Be the change I wish to see in the world”?
• What is there to celebrate?
