The Big “AHA” is an acronym I use to help clients think more constructively about the future. It stands for Awareness, Humility and Action.
We must always be aware that there could exist a new, different or better way of doing things. The example I frequently cite is my own case of becoming aware at the age of 37 that there was a better way to tie my shoes than the “bunny ear” method I was first taught when I was a wee lad.
As I later recounted in this post, I was stunned to discover–almost 11 years later–that I still wasn’t tying my shoes in the most optimal fashion. I use this as a tangible reminder of the importance of staying humble.
Alas, if we want to create a better future, we must also take action. And one of the most powerful actions is quite simple: We must learn to ask better questions.
To this end–and wanting to keep with the shoe-tying theme–have you ever asked yourself what the extra holes on the top of most running and hiking shoes are for?
