I often find myself stuck or confused or unsure where to start or the next step to take or scared that the choices I make will impact others in a negative way or unsure of what to do with a particular person, team, challenge.
This is common.
At least that is what I tell people in my coaching & development work.
8 questions that may help you figure out what to do, when you are not sure what to do.
- What are the hard boundaries that contain this work?Boundaries being lines that cannot be crossed OR the bigger picture things that keep this work contained.
- What is the goal/objective that this work will achieve?
- On a scale of 0 – 10. With 10 being that the work is complete (as defined above) & 0 being the opposite. Where are you as of today?
- What have you already completed? Evidence that you are at the number you chose.
- What obstacle is keeping you from moving forward?
- What is your next step?
- What do you expect to have happen when you take that next step?
- When can we see what was learned by taking that step?
