S1E14 The power of questions

"The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask."

I was recently talking to a client about a career dilemma she was facing. She was considering taking a job that was a step up into leadership, but she wasn't sure if it was the right fit for her. So I helped her by asking the 'quality' questions.

In this episode, you will learn the following:

1. What are some quality questions you can ask yourself to change your life for the better?

2. How can asking yourself certain questions help you get clarity about your career next steps?

3. What are the benefits of shifting your mindset from scarcity to abundance?

Chapter Summaries:

[00:00:30] - A client had a question about what to do with her career. We had a session on getting some clarity about her next steps. A few days later, she got an almost perfect role for her in her team. Unfortunately, the manager of the team wasn't a good fit for her. 

[00:04:40] - There are questions that don't make a big difference in your life, but there are other questions that feel more life changing. The quality of your life is determined by the quality of the questions you ask. The way my life has changed over the last few years is due to the questions I have been asking myself and that others have asked of me.

[00:08:19] - The first question is to imagine yourself one year in the future and looking back at the decision you made a year ago, what's the first thing that comes to mind when you know that you are really happy about the decision that you made one year ago? 

[00:09:48] - In the accelerate your Leadership Academy one of the main focuses is on self-worth. The questions to be asked are: if you know you are amazing and that anyone who hires you is lucky to have you, would this job be the right one for you? If you don't know this without a shadow of a doubt, it might feel a little bit sad. But it's okay to accept that. If the job is going to be part of working on your skills or helping your sense of self worth, it can help you make the decision. If it's about working on particular skills, identify those skills and start to work.

[00:13:15] - Mindsets are the beliefs you hold that shape how you see the world and the way you see yourself within the world. Mindsets shape your thoughts, feelings and behaviors. In this episode, the author challenges you to shift your mindset from scarcity to an abundance mindset.
