| Ask More Questions! *This blog post is sponsored by @AhliaYoga: Join Ahlia for her meditations and yoga practices on YouTube* Just 2 days ago, with one Mastery Coaching client after another, who are the cream of the crop, it became clear to me that we as a profession talk too much and ask too little. I have, for years suggested that DC’s become “Socratic Fanatics” but it seems its time for a reminder. As a profession, we lament that our practice members and our publics just do not understand who we are and what we do to say nothing of why we do what we do. For some it may be that they don’t try to foster understanding, my belief is that we try but are not successful. WHY??? We do not know what the other person’s belief system looks like so we attempt to insert our premise on top of their existing beliefs without knowing if their beliefs and ours are congruent. The way to access their belief system and be more successful in our communications is to listen. The best way to listen is to formulate questions or a series of question that will help them better understand how to get the best from their experience with us. Here’s a 3 minute video I did awhile ago on just this topic. CLICK HERE |

The TWO Fatal Questions
Most DC’s EXPLAIN which is great BUT what does the layperson hear? You know what you’re saying but do you know what they’re hearing? Did they hear you at all? Did they comprehend anything you said?
For me, when I was done giving a report or having aa consult, I’d often ask what I refer to now as the TWO FATAL QUESTIONS namely, “Do you understand?” and “Do you have any questions?”
Invariably the answer were that they understood and had no questions. I bet you have the same experience. And, what does your brain say to you?
They have no clue!
This is explained and alternate questions provided to you
in the following 90 second video. ENJOY!
