In this episode, Michelle shares another reflection from theMichigan AEYC Annual Conference and explores a powerful mindset shift for leaders, coaches, and anyone supporting others. Instead of focusing on what is “wrong,” she invites listeners to consider the strength based perspective ofasking what is “strong.”Many people label behaviors, decisions, or approaches aswrong, but often those actions simply reflect someone's current level of awareness or development. As Michelle explains, choice is a function of awareness. When people see more options, they can make stronger choices.Through conversations at the conference, coaching examples,and thoughtful questions, she demonstrates how shifting from criticism to curiosity opens new possibilities for growth.When you change the quality of your observations and thequestions you ask, you change your life.Michelle@GrowBy1.comGrowBy1.com/CoachingAcademy
