We all want the after (a better job, a healthier lifestyle, a better relationship) but to get there we have to look closely at where we are. The before, the “right now”, is the only place we can ever start to change, and make change.

How do we do this? The most effective way I have found through coaching is to ask better and better questions, such as:

What do I need to know here and now, so that I can get there and then?

Where am I hiding?

Where are my blind-spots that have tripped me up before?

Who can I call on today to help me?

What am I bringing that I can leave at the door?

A good question asked at the right time will greatly increase the odds of a great “after” result.
