Not in this order but I ask them. I recently added the "How do I want them to feel" question about a year ago. I added it because I was reminded of an age old saying: "People won't remember what you said, but they'll remember how you made them feel." This struck me as I noticed that I had become a one trick pony - HUMOR. I was good at humor using it in the message but what about when humor doesn't drive the message home enough. Humor and hell? Humor and suffering? Humor and pain? Humor and endurance? Humor and loving the lost? Didn't fit anymore. So my only retort would be to be fiery and loud. Again, that just doesnt always fit. So by asking that question it changed my approach, my tone, my pace, my voice pitch - it changes a lot of the presentation. Good stuff! Jon, I ask the same questions.
