Do you find yourself working with the same mindset and wondering why things do not change？ Do you ask yourself why people react the way they do towards you or why you easily become frustrated？ If so， you need to change your mindset so you can control the outcomes in your life。 In its fourth edition， Change your Questions Change Your Life – 12 Powerful Tools for Leadership， Coaching， and Results by Dr。 Marilee Adams should be your next read。We can choose to have one of two mindsets in life。 You c Do you find yourself working with the same mindset and wondering why things do not change？ Do you ask yourself why people react the way they do towards you or why you easily become frustrated？ If so， you need to change your mindset so you can control the outcomes in your life。 In its fourth edition， Change your Questions Change Your Life – 12 Powerful Tools for Leadership， Coaching， and Results by Dr。 Marilee Adams should be your next read。We can choose to have one of two mindsets in life。 You can be a Learner or a Judger。 If you are a learner， you ask questions， listen， and learn to have better communication and make better decisions。 Question thinking is a system of tools that leads to innovative approaches to situations。 Questions drive results and shift our focus。 It invites others to share ideas and open communication。 In short， learner teams are more productive and drive change。 Effective leaders practice “Q-storming” by looking for new questions to ask instead of accepting readily available or stale answers and ideas。The nemesis of being a learner is living like a judger。 A judger is the “enemy of good judgment” with a set mindset。 In this mode we tend to dictate answers， are not open to communication and questions， become frustrated with others and we react。 Our reaction is generally not positive and tends to shut others down。 No one likes a judger and when we judge we become isolated with a closed mindset that serves no one。Change Your Questions Change Your Life is an engaging story that follows the main character Ben as he struggles in his new leadership role along with bumps in his relationship with his wife。 Fortunately， Ben engages with a mentor named Joseph who introduces him to the company’s philosophy of Questing Thinking （QT） and the benefits of living the learner life。 Ben is an extreme judger and is confused why his new team is pushing back and not on his same wavelength。 Joseph guides Ben through the bliss of being a learner and the perils of remaining a judger。Dr。 Adams offers numerous tools to help us become learners including a Choice Map， QT thinking， Q-storming， and twelve specific tools to learn more about question thinking。 Moreover， there is an accompanying workbook available as a companion to guide readers in implementing personal changes for growth depending on individual goals。I enjoyed this parable。 I felt engaged and learned a tremendous number of new skills and ideas along the way。 I am working through the workbook to become more productive and a better leader。 。。。more

Leaders - Have you ever had that employee who just wasn't making the grade？ Have you ever had that top performer whose performance has slipped？ Have you ever had that employee who asks questions about everything you bring up？ What's your response？If your response is to immediately jump into the judgment role， you might be missing an opportunity。 That is where the latest edition of Marilee Adams' 4th edition of her book Change Your Questions， Change Your Life can help you shift your perspectives。 Leaders - Have you ever had that employee who just wasn't making the grade？ Have you ever had that top performer whose performance has slipped？ Have you ever had that employee who asks questions about everything you bring up？ What's your response？If your response is to immediately jump into the judgment role， you might be missing an opportunity。 That is where the latest edition of Marilee Adams' 4th edition of her book Change Your Questions， Change Your Life can help you shift your perspectives。 I had an opportunity to be an early reader for this edition of this very impactful book。This book is written as a parable and focuses on the choice of mindsets that we all have。 We either choose to operate in a Learner Mindset or a Judger Mindset。 The Learner makes thoughtful choices， are solutions focused and wants to achieve win-win relationships。 The Judger jumps on automatic reaction （probably negative）， is blamed focused， and assumes every relationship is win-lose。The basis of changing your questions from Judger to Learner is a tool that Marilee has introduced， the Choice Map。 The Choice Map helps you ask yourself the questions that can help you move from the focus on win-lose to win-win。Additionally， Marilee has created a workbook to use in conjunction with the book to help you build the "muscles" that are required to make that ongoing shift to Learner。If you find yourself judging the people and situations around you， what impact is it having on your psyche？ If you don't feel good about where you find yourself， give this book a try and see if you can use the right questions to make the better choice。 。。。more
