This free exercise, and dozens of others, were created for our book, Clueless: Coaching People Who Just Don’t Get It. You can learn more about Clueless by visiting our site or you can buy it from amazon.com today.
Purpose of Exercise: Help clients understand their passions by asking them to imagine inheriting $25 million.
How to Administer and Use this Exercise to Facilitate Behavior Change: Often times, our clients see obstacles such as time and money getting in the way of doing what they wish to do. If those obstacles weren’t in the way, what would they be doing in their lives? Imagine if they inherited $25 million dollars. Would they support their families/loved ones? Would they take care of their health? Would they travel?
This exercise allows people to think about the things they want to do with their lives, and feel they can’t because they don’t have the means. Well, if financial obstacles weren’t in the way, would they still accomplish those things? Is money really what is holding them back from all of that?
