Читать книгу The Way of Nowhere: Eight Questions to Release Our Creative Potential - Nick Udall - Страница 33

a micro-skill

A breakthrough question leads us into the unknown, generates excitement, enthusiasm and momentum, and reminds us of and links us back to our unique purpose. Here are some ways to ‘hold’ a breakthrough question:

 Create an opportunity to slow down and review what is most important or what difference would make the greatest difference.

 Reframe your insights as questions.

 Seek out the fundamental question that unlocks the rest.

 Refine the question until it sparks your energy and enthusiasm and sets you on a journey of discovery – ‘how’ questions are much more likely to achieve this than ‘why’, ‘what’ or ‘when’ questions.

 Keep refining until it feels ‘right’.

 Hold and walk this question until insights start to emerge.

 Hold the question lightly, as it may need to transform into a new, more potent question.

 Put the question where you will see it several times a day.

Examples

  How can I trust more and let go of needing so much input…?

  How can I create a healthier work/life balance…?

  Why am I here…?
