In Episode 172, we learned the difference between IQ (Incorrect questions) such as “Why did he cut me off?”, and QBQ (Questions that are positive and productive) like, “What can I do to help you out ?”
QBQs focus on action. How can I improve myself? How can I provide value to you?
Action requires courage; inaction is fueled by fear
Action builds confidence; inaction builds doubt
Action even when it leads to mistakes leads to growth; inaction leads to stagnation
In the Question Behind the Question we discovered the Power of ONE: Departments, teams, committees don’t change, People change…one at a time.
Asking questions that focus our efforts, thoughts, and energy is the way to be effective and really make a difference.
John G. Miller was taught by his wrestling coach, aka his father, he had 3 people to beat:
The opponent
Himself-overcome fears
The Ref- never blame
Please join us as we dive into QBQ: The Question Behind the Question and discover instead of thinking outside the box, it is beneficial to succeed using what is in our box, a Bloom Where You’re Planted mentality.
Learning is about change. We always have a choice, even if it is choosing not to make a choice.
What can we do to bless your day?
