I've taught this in a lot of different countries around the world.

I have coached people in more than 30 languages, none of which I speak.

So I will say to somebody,

Like I used to work with Nokia.

So I'm up in Lapland, northern Finland.

It's like, you know, there's a Finnish joke, which is like, how can you tell the difference between an extroverted Finn and an introverted Finn?

Well, extroverted Finns look at your shoes when they're talking to you and introverted Finns look at their shoes.

But I was sitting in Lapland and I said to them, what's on your mind?

And this engineer from Nokia told me in Finnish what was on his mind.

And I go, that sounds like a thing.

What's the real challenge here for you?

And he explained it to me in Finnish.

I go, great, what else?

What else is a challenge here?

And he would say a bit more.

And I go, great.

Anything else here is a challenge?

And he would explain the other aspect of it in Finnish.

I go, great.

So knowing that, what's the real challenge here for you?
