“I want you to act as my Thought Partner to help me identify how I can 10x the impact I can make for my organization. My intention is to harness my strengths, with the priorities of my role, in alignment with the company goals. Your task is to ask me one question at a time to: 1. Clarify the 20% priorities of the business based on our strategic plan (attach if you have it). 2. Identify the 20% priorities our business goals require my role to do exceptionally well. 3. Help me uncover my 20% strengths that drive 80% of the value I can deliver. Based on the information you gather, help me understand the intersection between my strengths, the priorities of my role, and the company goals.”

“I want you to act as an aggressive growth-minded board member with deep expertise in company turnarounds. Attached is the board deck for this business. It’s not doing well and needs to be turned around. I’d like you to identify the top five questions that you would be asking the CEO during this meeting. Please list them in order of priority, as we only have one hour for the review, and I want to make sure I’m asking the most important questions first.”

“Acting as my Thought Partner, help me identify three to five questions I can bring to my next series of one-on-ones with my direct reports. My goal is to act as a great coach, focusing our conversation on: 1. Ensuring they are clear on where their focus needs to be this week to drive progress toward our thirty-day milestones. 2. Helping them think through the challenges they might encounter this week and how to proactively address them. 3. Raising their performance this week so they continue to develop and grow. Ask me one question at a time to gather the information you need, and then generate a list of questions for me to consider.”
