Your clients already have magical thinking! After all, they created the problem state they’re in now. You can EMPOWER them to use their mind for good!!
Each of the following questions is an opportunity to discover how your client is running their current problem AND what it will take to achieve their desired solution.
Drill down on each question until you have THEIR ANSWERS that are: -Specific, measurable, achievable, reality based, time sensitive, and controlled by the client.
Resist the urge to offer options or to speed up the process. It is the client’s own mind that will move from problem to solution through this process. Your job is to listen for limiting beliefs or strategies and facilitate the natural discovery of their solution… Hint: It’s found in THEIR ANSWERS!
