S:0561 Great Question: How?

Published on: June 7, 2006

(Great questions lead to great answers; weak questions, weak ones.)

 

“How can I ….?”

 

Coaching Point: Most people have the instant reaction of “I can’t” when facing some new challenge or opportunity. An “I can’t” approach leads to a mental lock up. “How can I ….?” leads to fresh ideas, new resources, and ah-ha experiences. The next time you say “I can’t” catch yourself, replace it with “How can I?” and see what’s different.
