Ask What Prepares Them
- Ask your team, 'What two specific things would make you feel genuinely prepared and ready?' before big presentations or projects.

Focus on Immediate Action
- Ask, 'What is the one thing that could make the biggest difference tomorrow if we took action today?'
- This keeps focus actionable, urgent, and gives ownership without overwhelming the team.
