Leading with Questions

I automatically assumed that if someone was at my door with a
problem, they expected me to solve it. I realized how
disempowering this is, and how much more effective I could be
by posing the question back to the individual with the
problem. This took active concentration on my part to
practice this new behavior and a lot of reinforcing by the
coach.
