When someone asks a question it elicits a certain set of likely responses. There’s a million things we could say but the question itself narrows it way down. The question is meant to put boundaries on what gets said next.
(If someone asks you what the weather is outside it’s very unlikely that what comes to mind would be a story about your grandmother’s macaroni recipe.)
But ‘what comes to mind’ is really powerful. And if you want to change what comes to mind or stretch those boundaries for yourself it involves better intuitive listening and having a better understanding of your own game.
You can’t change the question but you do get to decide what to do with it.
