Reflection questions:
- Think about your natural response when someone shares a challenge with you. How often do you immediately focus on fixing the problem rather than connecting with the person? What might this pattern reveal about your own beliefs about helping others?
- Consider a recent situation where someone in your life was struggling with something. If you had focused more on coaching them as a person rather than solving their problem, what different questions might you have asked? How might this have changed the quality of your connection?
- Reflect on times when others have jumped straight to fixing your problems versus times when they've truly seen and engaged with you as a whole person. How did these different approaches impact your sense of capability, confidence, and connection? What can this teach you about how you want to show up for others?
