Ask this question every day

I ask this question a lot – because we often get busy doing stuff but haven’t thought about the end in mind. 

Case in point:

One of my Executive Team clients was planning a team away day. They’d drafted the agenda but hadn’t considered ‘the end in mind’ for the day. 

So I asked them: ‘What do you want people to feel, think and do at the end of your day?’

When they could answer that question (and they could, easily) they changed the agenda entirely. 

When you hold or attend a meeting – what’s the end in mind? 

When you deliver a presentation or conduct a 1-1 – what’s the end in mind? 

When you write an email – what’s the end in mind? 

It’s a question we’re all familiar with but forget to use on a daily basis. 

Remember that question and see how much more effective and focused you become. 

To your success always.
