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


“Now What?”


Coaching Point: This is a Great Question on two levels. First, it serves as a centering question with the byproduct benefit of avoiding or eliminating overwhelm. ‘Now What’ puts us in our place of greatest power and possibility: Now. It’s easy to be overwhelmed by a long to-do list some of which may feel daunting.

Now What guides us to focus on picking the one thing we can do next, giving permission to temporarily release the rest. The sum of undones can freeze us into inaction. A Now What after Now What gets things done.

Secondly, and more personally, this S3MC completes 29 years of them. (The first S:0001 was published 02AUG95.) Each of the 1500 have been written as a Now What.

What is your next Now What?
