“What Strengths Can You Leverage?”

This is a powerful and common coaching question designed to shift focus from challenges or problems to empowerment and positive action.

It's rooted in strengths-based coaching, which emphasizes identifying and utilizing a team member’s existing talents, skills, and positive attributes to achieve goals, overcome challenges, and enhance performance.

This can be a terrific question to ask a team member when they’re feeling stuck or overwhelmed by a problem, when they’re looking to set new goals, or even when exploring new career options. 

Here are a few companion questions you could consider asking:

• What might be a first step in applying that strength?

• What’s an example of how you’ve leveraged this strength successfully?

• How would leveraging that strength change your approach to this challenge?

Remember that coaching isn’t telling! Coaching is about staying curious and making space for those in our care to become confident authors of their own stories.

I don't know what to do....yet.

I can't do that...yet.

I've said some combination of these lines myself dozens of times over the last year as I started my own coaching business.

Those 3 little letters at the end of those sentences are so powerful.

"Yet."

Powerful because they leave room for a different ending.

They make an otherwise declarative statement open to possibility.

I want this for everyone, for my family, friends, clients, even people I've never met. I want them and all of us to believe - to know- that today's limitations are tomorrow's broken barriers.

How can you start applying the power of yet to your story?

An interesting twist on a classic!

I ran across this sign on a hike and it was such a delicious reminder to slow down and be present.

I spent so much of my career and my life moving in fast-forward, always rushing to the next big thing and in a hurry to do more. 

I’ve learned the obvious lesson that there's power in slowing down.

Through practice and patience, I’ve learned to let go of the rush, appreciate the now, and discover the calm.

Less rushing = more living.

What's one small joy you're not going to rush today?

 Thanks and Be Well!
