Feeling right………….

Around six months ago, I was asked by a coach “what does success look like” and I thought this was a really cool way of asking myself about a project and make some sense out of the maze I was in.  It really helped me look at the end destination in more clarity and it helped even more to put in on paper in black and white.

 

I tried to ask the same question with people/team members I work with. It’s effective in varying degree.

 

I did experiment with different variations of it  and I stumbled onto another question which I found has another interesting effect : “what does success feel like?”.

 

Could it be that is because emotions drive our actions more than rational analysis?

 

The other day, a friend told me that “a Lexus is as good as a Mercedes”.   I said, sure, “Marks and Spencer is almost as good as Georgio Armani, if not better”.

 

Try persuading people wearing Georgio Armani that they are making a big mistake, and  my M&S shirt is better………(and 20 times cheaper)

 

I am curious, would “what does success feel like?” be a stronger turn on than “what does success look like?”??
