How Did That Happen? vs. HOWDIDTHATHAPPEN!!?
by Steve Straus
Inquiry is powerful. Reaction is not.
A calm review of a situation can show you things, teach you things, assist your growth.
A panicked, short-of-breath, Oh-my-gosh, I’m-almost-overwhelmed reaction rarely teaches you anything.
Frequently practice the inquiry of “How did that happen?” and not only will you learn from the answers, you will also be preparing yourself to respond the same way during emergencies.
