Episode 31: The Art of The Question: Shifting Focus through Inquiry – Sandy Lewis
Sandy Lewis talks about changing the types of questions we ask to change our focus and bring on greater creativity. * Instead of “What keeps you up at night?” ask “What’s already working that you can build on?” * Instead of “What’s broken here?” ask “What would you like to see more of?” * At the dinner table, ask “What went well for you today?” This is an approach called Appreciative Inquiry that is based on the premise that we shape the future with the questions we ask.

Episode 54: How to Make Change? The Prochaska Model – Senia Maymin
What can people do to make a change they want to make? First, understand how change occurs. The Prochaska model helps us understand change dynamics. Stages occur in a spiral, meaning there’s a lot of backtracking: * Precontemplation – I don’t even know I need to change. * Contemplation – I want to, and I don’t want to change. * Preparation – Getting ready to changing. * Action – Actually making the change * Maintenance – Keeping the change going * Termination – The change is such a part of your life that you don’t need to invest effort any more.
