When a client is struggling with something and they have no idea why, one way I like to play is to zoom out and approach it from two divergent perspectives: One perspective is Action:Are they actually doing the thing ?Are they putting in the necessary time and attention?Do they know what system they currently have in place, which is creating the results they’re getting?Are they getting into the medium and experimenting, to learn from experience not concept?Are they focusing on taking action,...
