At the beginning of each chapter of my book, WHO ARE YOU CHOOSING TO BE?, I ask a powerful question. In my private practice I ask a lot of questions. The power of questions to be able to open the subconscious mind to new ways of thinking and new perspectives is very powerful. In fact, I believe that it is through the questioning process that we as humans have advanced technologically, medically, creatively, financially, emotionally and spiritually. We ask a question that opens up possibilities that we may not have previously explored and then we follow the line of questions until we find a satisfactory answer.
This is what a good coach does. He or she asks questions that help a person to arrive at their own answers. They empower, not by pointing a superior finger, but by asking the compassionate and thought-provoking question.
What is Possible?
Where is Your Attention?
What is The Blessing?
What is Your Passion?
These are all questions that stoke the fires of creative, emotional, and personal growth. Try it. Ask yourself these questions and see what answers come up for you.
With great possibilities,
