overcome them? #NPCons

Big caution about looking to
others' successes first: Can deepen sense of failure, deficit. Start w/ org's
own success, then outward #npcons

Grantwriter:
Strategies & ideas that have
worked with other orgs can inspire creative thought. Success stories paint a
wonderful picture. #NPCons
-
pammcallister:
That is, own up to their own
success *before* looking to others "best practices." Rarely ppl fully aware of
assets, capabilities. #npcons

HildyGottlieb:
We have found a huge piece of the
equation is language. Words like "should" "must" "persuade" "won't" "refuse
to." #NPCons

NancyIannone:
One of my favorite questions -
When you are successful in reaching your goal, what will that look like?
#NPCons
-
vickibrannock:
This seems simple but having the
org list everything they are doing right and remembering successes to start the
process. #NPcons

HildyGottlieb:
Are there specific questions you
ask to encourage and engage? Are there words / phrases you use?

Often give examples of how others
have succeeded to "prime the thought pump" of the client.

@Everywun . Stories are
great ways to show examples, as client takes from it what they need to hear.

HildyGottlieb:
Big part of inspiring = shifting
power from “consultant as expert" to consultant facilitating client
wisdom. How do to that?#NPCons

chanellecarver:
And to remember you don't have to
know everything. Delegate to others what you don't feel is necessary for YOU to
know right now. #NPCons

Studying how "inspiring" happens
useful to all aspects of social benefit orgs, from raising money to HR to OD to
board development #npcons

Success stories to share? #NPCons

Truly inspiring another (if
that's even possible, which I wonder) may start first with *being* inspired
oneself. Self as instrument. #npcons

@ Everywun: yes, Step "out of the
weeds" , but looking inside to what inspires as a springboard.

Q of wisdom vs topic-specific per
Hildy: If we're talking "inspire" it's the former, right? That's when
prescribing falls short istm #npcons

@nancy iannone in social

Guide, counsel, share stories and

told what to do! #npcons

pammcallister:
Drawing out others' built-in
inspiration seems to work better for me. Prescribing, even prescribing a
process, always has been iffy #npcons

-
askdebra:
Only prescriptions I use:
goal-oriented strategy+consider approp tools+client assets/culture+creativity.
Client ideas/goals drive it #npcons

HildyGottlieb:
Inspiring might be eliciting the
clients' own desired outcomes& having them create their own chcklist
specific to their desired ends.#NPCons
-
vickibrannock:
I usually end up with a
combination of both processes but in the end the client has to own the result
#Npcons

chanellecarver:
I prefer to inspire, but
prescribing works well when clients lack specific knowledge, time or desire to
learn. #NPCons

HildyGottlieb:
.@askdebra Prescribing
might be a "standard checklist" or "best practice" against which client SHOULD
work #NPCons (emphasis
intentional)

I find that asking smart
questions early engages a client so you can determine if they have wisdom or
might need some? #NPCons

Brainstorming with the client can
create an even better idea. Hildy, can you ask the Q and give a concrete
example to guide? #npcons

Is it always more effective to
inspire a client’s own wisdom? Are there circumstances when prescribing is
more effective? #NPCons
