It’s this: what’s the real challenge here for you? It’s simple, it’s powerful. So part of what you need to do straight away is forget the solution, forget the answer step way back and start thinking to yourself, “What’s the real challenge here?”Īnd let me give you the coaching question that I think can make the real difference. We take the first challenge that comes along and we pursue that, and the first challenge is almost never the actual challenge. I mean, this happens all the time in our organizational life.

So how do you start avoiding the easy answer? Well, look: I think the first thing is to make sure that you’re actually tackling the real challenge. And so many organizations are so busy, and we feel so overwhelmed, that action will consistently trump insight, and that process of taking a little more time to think a little more deeply as to what the challenge is in front of us.

I mean it’s when you’re in conversation and you need to come up with an idea, and somebody has an idea, and it’s not too bad and it doesn’t look too difficult and it doesn’t suck overly, and you think, “I could probably get this done,” and everybody goes, “Fantastic.

Sometimes it is, but not always, so let’s talk about that for just a bit. And I think this is one of the key challenges that we face in our organizational life, is we’re always looking for the easy route and the easy route is not necessarily the best route. It’s this: for every problem there’s an answer that’s simple, straightforward, and wrong. You know, there’s a quote that always makes me laugh.

(Just to be clear, in menu options - audio - voice recognition - it does not respond to my 'give us a sign' voice. I have not found any information for that.Īny ideas or experiences with spirit box according to these issues? So - if i have something wrong with the mic or voice recognition, why does it answer to me? Does it work without a mic, or.

i respons by itself, and when i try to ask some question, it ignores me - I ask - 'where are you' and it says 'adult'. Spirit Box every its interval (should be cca 10 seconds) says 'Nothing detected', even if i dont say anything - this is happening all the time i have the spirit box turned on.Īnd also a ghost answered to me, for example 'adult', or 'attack' while i was silent.
