Before We Begin

If you've downloaded this guide, there's a good chance you're facing an important decision.

Perhaps it's about your team. A difficult conversation. A new opportunity. A strategic direction. Or a change you know you need to make.

Over the past twenty-five years, I've learned that the quality of our decisions is shaped by the quality of our thinking, and the questions we ask.

This guide isn't about telling you what to do. It's about creating the space to think before you decide.

The questions inside are the kinds of questions I explore with leaders every day. They don't promise easy answers. But they often lead to greater clarity.

Inside the Guide

Six questions worth sitting with.

Take your time. Return to any question that lingers.

Question One
What am I really trying to solve?
The problem in front of you may not be the problem underneath.
Question Two
What assumptions am I making?
Every important decision rests on beliefs we haven't examined.
Question Three
What else could be true?
If someone you trusted saw this differently, what would they see?
Question Four
What conversation needs to happen before this decision?
Notice which conversation you're avoiding, and what would change if you had it.
Question Five
What does success look like six months from now?
Not the outcome. The lived experience.
Question Six
What kind of leader is this decision asking me to become?
Every important decision shapes us. Notice what this one is asking.
