The Two Caring Questions That Will Change Everything
The views in this article are from my own experiences and learnings and are focused on practical insights and actional tips for creating meaning and purpose in work & life.
Over the past 15 years, I have been on a personal and spiritual development journey. During this past year, I’ve been in Wisdom School. I have learned many fascinating tools, methods, and deep insights that I’d like to share with those that are open (see Newsletter 1). I wish I would have learned these insights much earlier in my life.
On my journey and in doing my ‘work’ I have experienced many unexplainable phenomena that you may or may not resonate with, yet.
Some concepts will be very new and seem unusual to you. If you are reading this you have been called to do so. If you keep reading then you are on your path and desire to experience more.
I will use this LinkedIn Newsletter to share my stories — take what resonates and leave the rest. No need to judge, just be with the words. They may trigger thoughts and experiences for you. Enjoy the journey
IT’S ALL-NEW — SOMETIMES WE STEP ON TOES
Are you experiencing something new? My clients and friends are undergoing major transitions — starting new jobs, getting new bosses, transitioning into different teams, coming back into the office, dating for the first time in years, divorcing, and establishing new relationships. During these times of learning to ‘dance’ together and testing who is leading and who is following, there are many missteps and toes can get hurt.
REALLY CARE ABOUT THE OTHER PERSON
I have experimented with many ‘onboarding’ and trust-building methods, and there are some very good ones. During this process I have found these ‘2 caring questions’ have quickly changed working and life relationships for good:
‘THE 2 CARING QUESTIONS’™ -
#1 — How do you want the job done?
#2 — What can I do to make your job/life easier?
REAL-LIFE STORY
A client bumped into me in the grocery store last week and I asked how things were going. He said that he just got another new boss and things started out a bit rocky. I didn’t need to know more but I said — promise me in the next meeting ask your boss The Two Caring Questions:
#1 — How do you want the job done?
#2 — What can I do to make your job/life easier?
KEEPING THE PROMISE — ACHIEVED POSITIVE RESULTS
The response that I received the next day is similar to many responses that I get after people ask these questions.
“Anne, I kept my promise to you and asked The Two Caring Questions you guided me to ask my boss. Anne, I must say you are a genius! I had not only the opportunity to ask my boss 1) How would you like the work done? and 2) How can I make your life easier? I also had the opportunity to ask his boss those same questions. Both encounters produced remarkable results!
Here’s what happened. When I first asked my boss’ boss those questions, he was super quick to share how I could immediately help him. He sincerely appreciated it and it was a great confirmation of my role.
Then I asked my new boss those questions in our second weekly meeting. Well, he was so taken aback that our 20-minute meeting lasted two hours. He invited me to a seat at the table to help him create our department vision and new product plan. I felt like we established trust, alignment, and a collaborative commitment to working together to accomplish his goals and the goals of his boss.
I am so grateful that you made me promise to ask those caring questions. When you challenged me with those actions, I could feel, in my chest, your message resonating. It was simply amazing.”
TAKE THE LEAD WITH YOUR HEART
What happened in that real-life story? My client led with his heart. The questions were focused on listening to and helping his boss, held with an intention of love, care, concern, sincerity, and mutual success. My client was self-aware. He was willing to ask, allow and accept any outcome. He was not as concerned about himself only about how he could help.
YOUR HEART HAS A BRAIN — ACTIVATE YOUR 3 BRAINS
Did you know that your heart has a brain? I practice and teach the 3 Brain Model by George Gurdjieff, philosopher, mystic, spiritual teacher, and composer. He taught that most humans do not possess a unified consciousness and thus live their lives in a state of hypnotic “waking sleep” and that it is possible to awaken to a higher state of consciousness and achieve full human potential. This awakening happens when we activate the 3 brains: Intellect/Head, Movement/Body, and Emotion/Heart centers.
Many of us spend most days in the Head. The client above activated his heart. He felt the love in his heart when I challenged him to promise to ask The Two Caring Questions. Have you ever felt this? Knowing that something was true, right, and you felt the vibration somewhere in your body?
I didn’t tell the client to hold the intent of collaboration, love, and kindness when asking the questions. However, I know that the reason the bosses responded so positively was because of the intention of love and care underneath The Two Caring Questions.
JOY WORK ACTION STEPS -
1. Which of these 3 brains are you overusing? What can you do to activate the brain that needs help? When will you do it?
2. TRY THE 5As — The 5As are a simple activation process that was ‘downloaded’ to me in a dream. They are:
1) ASK — be willing to ask for the information or connection that you desire
2) ALLOW — the message in whatever form it comes
3) ACCEPT — the message as it is
4) APPRECIATE — be grateful for the connection and the message
5) ACT — on the insights or information received
3. ASK THE 2 CARING QUESTIONS — WITH AN OPEN HEART
Try these questions at work and in your personal life. My partner asks me these questions each day and there are no surprises, our days go well and we do the jobs and activities the way we both want them done. It doesn’t always work, but we keep asking and sharing.
#1 — How do you want the job done?
#2 — What can I do to make your job/life easier?
In the next newsletters, I will be sharing insights, tips, and models that have helped me in the process to deepen my gifts and connect with unseen helpers, which may help you. Take what resonates with you and leave the rest. Thank you for doing your work. If you liked this newsletter please connect, subscribe, share, comment, or reach out to me at anne@pryority.com.
Let me know what happens when you ask The Two Caring Questions.
