Creative Doing
Herbert Lui
There are a number of questions you could ask to help drive this generative and retrieval process to embed the learning. “What did you learn?” “What was the key insight?” “What do you want to remember?” and “What’s important to capture?” are some of the more obvious ways to help people do that, and they’re all good questions. But “What was most useful for you?” is like a superfood—kale perhaps—compared with the mere iceberg-lettuce goodness of the other questions. “What was most useful?” helps hits the spot in at least six ways.
The Coaching Habit
Michael Bungay Stanier
It's easy to forget how amazing this is. Days and weeks go by and the regularity of existing eclipses the miraculousness of it. But there are certain moments when we manage to be viscerally aware of being alive. Sometimes those are very scary moments, like narrowly avoiding a car accident. Sometimes they are beautiful, like holding your newborn in your arms. And then there are the quiet moments in between, when all the joy and sorrow seem profound only to you.
