Examine What Is Said: Questions for Coaches Evaluating Truth in a Message

The image features a three-dimensional, featureless, white humanoid figure standing in the centre. This figure is holding a large, bright red megaphone with its right hand, directing it to the left side of the frame. The figure and megaphone are set against a plain, light gray background, which emphasizes their simplicity and the bold colour of the megaphone. The megaphone is large in comparison to the figure, drawing attention to its significance in the composition. Above the figure and megaphone, there is a text in black that reads: "Examine what is said, not who speaks." (Proverb).

The quote of the day is:

“Examine what is said, not who speaks.” (Proverb)

Questions For Coaches:

  • How do you currently assess the quality of information or advice that you receive?
  • If there’s a particular thought you use to berate yourself, does it have the same impact if it’s said in the silliest voice you can imagine?
  • In what ways do you help clients create a habit of asking “Is this true?” rather than “Who said this?” when evaluating information?

Bonus Questions:

  • What insights arise when you stop associating wisdom with status or authority and focus on the truth in the message?
  • How do you encourage clients to be open to insights from unexpected sources in both their personal and professional lives?
  • What wisdom are you ignoring because it’s coming from a new and previously unnoticed source?
