Ask Coaching Questions |
Seek Clarity:
- What supplies do you need?
- How old is your baby?
- Is this a one-time or ongoing need?
- Is this an urgent need?
Get to the Root:
- Did something change in your life to precipitate this need for supplies?
Ask about Options:
- What have you tried so far?
- Do you know someone who has been in this situation before? If so, how did they handle it?
- Do you have anyone in your life you could borrow money from to secure these supplies?
