Are there any tasks you are doing that you would like to give up?
What is exciting you right now about the work you are doing?
What tasks do you not have energy for right now?
Would you like to do this or that right now?

What is really exciting you right now?
What would you like to drop right now?
Tell me how you are able to do it all?
I love to hear about what you are doing. Can you share with me the next big project you are working on so I know how to support you?

Can you let me know if you think there is a better way to do this?
You have such a unique view of things I really appreciate your input, you bring so much to the team.

Communicating with a Reflector:

Take your time making a decision. I know you need time to process. When you are ready to decide, let me know your choice.
Is there anything about the environment that doesn’t feel right to you, what would make it feel better for you?
You are a really important part of this team, its really important to us that you feel good being part of it.

Communicating with a Manifestor:

When communicating with a Manifestor it is important to led them lead with their energy. Notice when they are being pulled by their urge to do something, don´t get bogged down in detail with them, they will find this very frustrating:

Can you share with me what is exciting you to pursue right now?
Is there any way I can support you as you pursue this?
Do you have any ideas to kickstart this project, you are great at coming up with ideas for the rest of us to implement?
What tasks are really draining you right now?

Knowing how to ask the right questions means you will bring out the best in each type that you surround yourself with. Each type feels seen, understood and shines in their own right. Harmony is felt throughout the team, your family or your network as you communicate to the needs and desires of each type. You compassionately communicate with their strengths and you allow them to comfortably share what they are not enjoying and want to let go of.

Effectively communicating your needs and desires is an important life skill, knowing how to ask the right questions allows those around us to communicate their needs as effectively as possible.
