FIRST GRAB, THEN REVERSE IT
Sometimes I love to grab a client’s words and then turn those words upside down, reverse them, or take them completely away from them. These choices provide yet another way to get details from a client, especially a global client who lives in the world of fluffy vagueness. And again, this shows that you do not need a lot of information to get the subject or to take a client inside to his meaning-making mind where he creates his reality.
Imagine that you ask “What do you want that will change your life for the better?” and your client says, “Well, I’m bored with my job and don’t know what I want.” First of all, he has not answered your question. So deal with that. “Do you realize that you did not answer my question?” That’s a good interruption and hopefully will wake him up. “Do you want to try again to answer my opening question?”
