I have had an interesting week with coaching clients and as
often happens there is a pattern in the client calls.
This week I had several clients who had been unsuccessful in
finding solutions to problems, on their own, even though they had been trying
hard, often, for months.
What I noticed was that the common strategy, that was
failing, was they had been zoning in closer and closer getting in to more and
more detail. This is a strategy that we as scientists are taught from a young
age, to look down the microscope at ever increasing magnification.
Whilst in many instances magnification and detail provides
the answers you need, it does not work all of the time.
If what you are doing is not delivering the outcomes you
want, you have to use a different approach.
During the coaching sessions, I asked questions that enabled
my clients to step back, to see the situation in a larger context. Curiously, when
they had less detail and the bigger picture they found their answers.
Where would it be useful that
you took a step back and saw things in the broader context so that you could grasp
your solutions?
