GREAT QUESTIONS Lead to Inspired Motivation

2) Consider the image on the left – take your time and attention – study it.

3) Start writing questions that come to mind because of that image. As questions are produced – your questions or even a single word, may produce related questions! Write them all down – exactly as spoken.

4) Transform your questions: a. Turn open-ended questions to a closed-ended question form, and b. Turn your closed-ended questions, into an open-ended question form.

5) Discuss to prioritize your questions, and number the top 6 questions.

Why not get more for your money, and take the time you need? Here is one of the tools I use with my long-term clients and their families. This tool called QFT, which uses the power of great questions to blow apart perceived problems.

QFT is short for the Question Formulation Technique, a tool used by thousands of educators around the world, and now ME. I use it (as a facilitator) to help clients and their families realize the best path for housing choices over time.

It is a strong communication tool. It sidesteps judgement, leaps over preconceived ideas, and lands right on top of inspiration! If you are a little “stuck” this session really helps to get you “unstuck”.

Try it now without me! Here is how it works: a. Trying on your own? Then just put it on paper – whatever pops into your head – word for word.

1) The group needs a scribe – this is the person who will write down your questions verbatim without commentary or judgement.

6) Discuss the top 3 questions in depth, and any next steps. Next steps could be a bit of research, or even pursuit of new ideas.

7) Reflect on what you learned. Share your reflections. This step often produces the best value – don’t skip it!

Tools like this one were created for my longterm clients. These are people who do not expect to move anytime soon, yet this next move will be complex in one or more ways. I only take on 10 new long-term clients each year.

Overtime these clients have me as their real estate and relocation advisor. These extra and customized services evolve as my client’s needs evolve. With minor exception the extra service DOES NOT COST EXTRA, and fees are deferred and not paid until the property is sold.

Why not get more for your money, at your pace, with professionals that walk the talk?

I know you have questions – so call me! 905-271-5135. Because every question is a great question!
