It’s rare for someone to know exactly what they want. That’s why at Quarter Life Academy we always start by exploring what someone is really searching for in their life.
We call this the “thrashing ” stage, because it can take a lot of time to define a problem or work out the best path forward.
There are many ways we guide the conversation. Sometimes questions will lead to more questions, sometimes we will mirror back what’s been said. But we are always striving for a moment of clarity. And it’s usually expressed in a simple yet powerful way.
“That’s it!”
“Oh wow….”
“Yes yes yes”.
And sometimes it simply arrives in silence, as they reflect on all the possibilities that suddenly become clear.
