A question to optimise energy

Questions are the stepping stones of the unknown. If you’re navigating through high-stakes moments of disruption, and particularly if you’re leading a team, mastering the art of questions becomes a leadership tool that is critical to your success.

In our newsletter's second year, the promise remains -?one question, once a week. It’s the cognitive kick-starter that takes only five seconds to read but is packed with endless possibilities.

Are you a recently appointed senior executive? If you love powerful leadership questions then I've got some exciting news to share at the end of this article - so make sure you scroll down.

But first, this week's CQW.

I LOVE having a plan!

In fact, I reckon most of us LOVE having a plan, particularly when we've landed in the unknown and are well outside our comfort zone! A plan gives us that reassuring feeling that everything is now under control and it's all going to be okay in the end. Phew!

Unfortunately, sometimes this 'feel good feeling' can also cause us to become a little obsessed' with our plan and the process of ticking off the milestones that come with it.

This week's Curly Question offers a simple opportunity to check-in and test whether all the activity is taking you and your team where you need to go. In other words, it gives you the chance to check whether your efforts are delivering maximum return or alternatively, whether some of your precious energy is going to waste.

About Kate Christiansen

Kate Christiansen has spent almost three decades mastering moments that matter. You know the ones! Those inflection points at work or in life that are created by disruption, confront us with the unknown and offer the possibility of a brighter or more challenging future.

Kate believes that moments that matter don’t ‘just happen’. They are ours to create. However, only if we embrace an unconventional and intentional way of thinking. This enables us to activate, articulate then navigate moments effectively and ultimately determines whether we miss, muddle-through or master the ones that really matter.

Kate is not just a facilitator; she's a catalyst for cognitive and strategic breakthroughs. Known for her dynamic approach and profound questions, Kate partners with leaders, teams, and organisations who are ready to think differently and harness the transformative power of disruption.
