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


“What Do I Mean To You?”


Coaching Point: A strong, self-aware, grounded person seeks transparency in their close relationships. Transparency means showing up with authenticity and clarity. Not hiding behind a mask.

That said, many would find it daunting to come right out and ask this Great Question. Perhaps fearful of hearing the ‘wrong’ answer. Or at least an uncomfortable one.

If so, great! That means you know or feel that you’re not fully showing up in the relationship. That there is some ‘work’ you need to do on yourself. Perhaps it’s time to raise one of your standards. Or let go of one of the three R’s (regrets, resentments, rejections). Or… you get the idea – time to step up.

And a caution. This is not a question to throw into a new, shallow, or shaky relationship. It is to help clarify and strengthen a good one.

And if someone were to ask you this question, are you ready to answer it?
