Thanks for sharing these questions Colette, do I ask them in order or randomly?
Hey Sarah, no order is necessary…I wouldn’t recommend asking them all in one sitting as it could be a bit overwhelming. Some of these questions may need a bit of mulling over and going back to. A wee insider tip, if you or the person you’re asking gets stuck it can be helpful to enlist someone who knows you/them to get a third person perspective. The people closest too us can give us great insights into our strengths too. That’s the beauty of them, they come so naturally to us we don’t recognise them as our secret sauce!
