Yes, things keep changing. And one of the things that can be particularly difficult is the idea that something may or may not be changing. We are often in a position of reactivity to the change. What would happen if we decided to face change with a bit more proactivity? This week, we are considering the new opportunities that may be possible in the midst of change (even if we don’t want or have any control over the change).
In this week’s fifteen minute VLOG ), we have a conversation that asks three questions (see below).
- What is possible? (may begin with “what is not possible”?).
- What have I wanted to try but wasn’t sure it would work? This is closely related to the question we asked during the first post on change, “What would I do if I weren’t afraid?”
- What have your partners told you was most important to them? This is a great time to review past evaluation results. I turned to the book “Ask Powerful Questions” by Will Wise and I’m inspired to improve my curiosity in order to create better connections and new opportunities. What can you implement in your coalition or team based on what you learned from your partners about what is most important to them?
So, what about you? What questions have you been asking to identify new opportunities?
