The Power of Questions – Workshop
summary
Claim: precise questions change thinking by refocusing overloaded attention. Uses the NLP Communication Model and a live non‑content coaching routine (the miracle question and BFO / blinding flash of the obvious), plus a sensory experiment that cites George Miller’s estimate of about two million bits per second and the familiar 5–9 item working‑memory limit. Attendees write goals on index cards, run the miracle visualization and report new possibilities, motivation and actionable next steps — the exercise demonstrably produces insight.
