Ask questions to help others focus

Want to help others focus on the right things? Ask questions. Ask questions that provoke reflection, for example:
  1. What’s going on in your ministry?
  2. What people/projects are you spending your time/energy on?
  3. What are your goals for this next week/month?
  4. Whom do you talk to about your ministry?
  5. What’s been satisfying/frustrating?
  6. What are the reasons for your feelings of satisfaction and frustration?
  7. How can you build on your progress/minimize your roadblocks?
  8. What do you think you’ll do?
