How are you complicit in creating the conditions you say you don’t want?

Maybe the greatest coaching question ever asked...

This question comes from Reboot, leadership and the art of growing up by Jerry Colonna, and is the best coaching question I have ever heard.

It locates the responsibility and power for their outcomes on the person being coached.

• How are YOU complicit?

• How did YOU create these outcomes?

• If YOU don’t want them why do YOU create them again and again?

It sounds harsh, tough, uncaring and even abusive…

But it’s not…It’s raw, It’s honest, It’s respectful and It’s empowering.

• It implies, that YOU can stop doing this.

• YOU are the creator and have the power to create different outcomes.

• YOU can can explore what it is about these outcomes that you secretly want and decide if you can get these needs met in a way that better serves you.

Wow what a great question!
