Making this power tool work for you
Reflective Question for self (Introspection and application):
- Why do I keep putting off ‘this’ activity?
- Is there something I fear?
- What do I stand to lose if I do this?
- What do I stand to gain if I do this?
- What out-weighs the other – the gains or the losses?
- Do I REALLY need to do this?
- If I don’t really need to do this, can I seek closure by letting it go?
Reflective Questions for others (Coach’s perspective)
- Why do you give so much importance to ‘This’ task/activity?
- What do you really need to do to begin this task?
- Who do you need to help you with this?
- What steps do you need to take, to ensure you stay on track, after you have begun?
- Five or ten years from now, if you look back, what do you see if you don’t do this task at all?
