People are so quick to judge or act that they don't bother to think. They want instant gratification or results and just blurb anything out. <em>KhaosGirl's last blog post..<a href='http://www.annandrichard.com/?p=21'>Learned</a></em> I agree.

I think most people fail to take the time to think before they speak and end up offending others rather than encouraging them to do a good job. Isabella,
You make a good point. I think most people fail to take the time to think before they speak and end up offending others rather than encouraging them to do a good job.

When the kids are trying to work through an issue it is easy to say "just do this" instead of asking them the right question so they can work through it themselves.

At work, when facing an issue in a project, instead of asking "whose fault is it?" we should ask "how do we solve the problem?" This has really helped me to be constructive and solution-oriented in my work. Thanks for highlighting this great point!

Appreciate Inquiry shapes much of my content with financial coaching. The question changes from "What's financially broken and how can we fix it" to the more inspiring question, "what is working for you, and how can you have more of it?" The latter question opens up a lot of space for possibility. I wish I could have joined you at the conference! Appreciate Inquiry shapes much of my content with financial coaching.
