Excerpts from this conversation with Jeff Blackman:

I really work with my clients on an ongoing basis with the significance of intelligent valuable repetition and I tell them that repetition and reinforcement is what eventually drives internalization and internalization is what drives execution.

George: Jeff so what do you do?

Jeff Blackman: George my clients’ say, I’m a business growth specialist. I help folks like you CEOs, your senior leadership team, sales people and other executives sleep really well at night and then I pause and typically what happens is they say - well how do you do that?

George everybody is different what’s cooking in your business. So, I make it all about you. It is not about me and that's when it leads into the ability to ask really good questions.

So, at a minimum I’m going to encourage your listeners now to develop what I call their dynamic dozen and a dynamic dozen Georgia’s at least 12open-ended need development questions or power probes they begin with a who, a what, a when, a where, a why, a witch, a how or a tell me more about. They cannot be answered yes or no.
