I just published a new knol on the Q&A Coaching Framework.
There is a wide-spread use of goal management acronyms such as SCORE, GROW, SMART, SMARTEST STAR, OATS and others used in business, psychology, coaching and elsewhere - whereever one needs to set and manage a goal/outcome.
Frameworks are important tools/technology to focus attention on what is important. The more flexible and multidimensional its use and application, the more beneficial the results.
In coaching, the norm is to use open-ended questions while following the guidelines of one of these frameworks to focus the client's attention and planning.
Clients also engage in continual self-talk. This self-talk does include questions the person asks of himself/herself. Becoming aware of these questions is the first step to making them work for you and with you.
My article explains how asking powerful and empowering questions allows one to receive powerful and empowering answers!!!

Change happens... Creative Change needs a helping hand
We all have learned and habitual ways of dealing with change. I propose a conscious awareness, a continual learning and application of creative thinking as a habitual way of living and being.
At its most simplistic level, I would define creative thinking as simply thinking. I agree with the adage that "A man is what he thinks about all day long".
We cannot not think. We can choose what we think about and how we think about these things. In other words, we can choose what to focus our attention on and how to focus this attention. You may have heard the saying "Nothing is good or bad, but thinking makes it so." I believe creative thinking is a way to see opportunity where opportunity seems not to be. Creative thinking creates options and opportunity where the driving intention is a desire to grow and expand one's potential.
We have unlimited creative potential and we can consciously choose and develop our own unique ways to drive our thinking and our creation and experiencing of our own personal reality.
To this end, I consciously look at ways in which creative thinking can be applied.
