GLAS Question Practices are a simple but powerful way of developing clearer thinking and more intentional action. Rather than giving quick answers or advice, the practice centres on asking thoughtful, well-timed questions that help people slow down, notice what really matters, and see situations from a wider perspective.
Within GLAS, questions are used as tools for reflection, alignment, and decision-making. They help individuals move from reacting to situations toward understanding them—exploring motivations, assumptions, priorities, and possible paths forward. The aim isn’t to interrogate or analyse endlessly, but to create moments of clarity that lead to more effective choices.
Practised regularly, GLAS Question Practices build a habit of curiosity and self-awareness. Over time they strengthen judgment, deepen conversations, and support people in navigating complexity with greater confidence and perspective.

1. Pause – Step back from the situation and create a moment of space to think clearly.
2. Ask a Thoughtful Question – Choose a question that helps uncover what really matters or what might be missing.
3. Reflect – Sit with the question and notice what insight or perspective emerges.
4. Act with Clarity – Use what you’ve discovered to take a small, intentional next step.
-
1. Revisit the Question – After your first reflection, return to the question and see if your perspective has shifted or deepened.
2. Share the Practice – Use GLAS questions in conversations with others to open thoughtful dialogue and new viewpoints.
3. Repeat Regularly – Make questioning a regular habit. Over time, the practice strengthens clarity, judgment, and more effective decision-making.
