During an online conversation about personal development and how to improve performance I asked a Master Mindpower Coach how I could improve my performance. Their reply was:
- Ask bigger questions
This was both helpful & unhelpful at the same time, my response was:
- What is a bigger question?
Their response was typical of a coach:
- What do you think would be a bigger question?
My relationship with asking big questions began.
I don’t have a definitive definition of what makes a big question, it may show up differently for you, but I suggest it could be:
- A question that encourages you to reflect and contribute your prior knowledge and experience to a conversation with either yourself or others while being open for transformation to occur.
Perhaps a big question could be:
- A question that broadens your awareness and helps you stay intentionally focused.
Perhaps a big question could be:
- A question that asks you to forget about everything you know so that you are able to create something different.
Whatever you believe makes up a big question, my question to you is:
- Do you ask big questions?
You may find big questions useful.
Options
To become clear on your definition of a big question then explore your own big questions.
Or
Change nothing if this is something you already do or not interested in.
