The 3 Question Framework

One simple method. Unlimited applications.

This framework works for individuals and organisations alike.

At its heart are just three questions:

What do they want?

How will they get there?

What’s stopping them?

It’s flexible enough to fit any context —

from personal growth to corporate strategy —

while naturally embedding self-care and self-acceptance into the process.

  • Helping people define their goals, build a path, and remove the blocks holding them back.

    1. What do they want from life?

    Clear personal dreams, career ambitions, lifestyle preferences, or emotional wellbeing goals.

    May include self-acceptance as a goal — feeling worthy and free from constant self-criticism.

    2. How will they get there?

    Realistic action plan with achievable milestones.

    Self-care habits and boundaries built into daily life.

    3. What’s stopping them?

    Barriers like resource gaps, negative self-talk, or unhealthy coping patterns.

    Recognition that poor self-care or low self-esteem can be part of the problem.

  • Helping teams and leaders define goals, map strategy, and fix what’s blocking progress.

    1. What does the organisation want?

    Vision for growth, culture, innovation, or social impact.

    Honest self-assessment of current strengths, weaknesses, and values.

    2. How will they get there?

    Strategic plan with responsibilities, milestones, and tracking.

    “Organisational self-care” — practices to prevent burnout and maintain performance.

    3. What’s stopping them?

    Barriers such as communication gaps, skills shortages, market changes, or toxic culture.

    Recognises morale and wellbeing as critical success factors.
