Importance Of Getting To The Root Cause Of The Problem

Importance Of Getting To The Root Cause Of The Problem. I just moved into a lovely 3 bedroom townhouse with my new girlfriend of 4 weeks. We were busy setting up our home and creating a magical space to live and enjoy.

Two weeks after we moved in I woke up one morning with a very irritating skin rash. I felt itchy all over with red blotchy skin to prove it. My girlfriend also suffered the same problem but not as bad as me.

I thought it might be a passing thing so I tolerated it for a few days. Unfortunately, we didn’t get any respite from it. It actually appeared to get worst.

Out of desperation, I went to see a Doctor to find out what was going on. A few minutes into the consultation the Doctor pronounced that I had Scabies. What the hell is Scabies, I thought to myself!

Scabies is an infestation of the skin by the human itch mite.

Now I can understand why we have been scratching ourselves endlessly since it started.

The Doctors solution was to:

• Vacuum and sterilise our mattress
• Wash all our clothes
• Shower and apply some white medical lotion from head to toe

This should take care of the Scabies and give you some relief, the Doctor said.

I was excited and relieved that we had discovered the problem and had a solution to correct it.

We rushed home and washed every piece of clothing that we owned. Sterilised the mattress, showered and applied the white smelly lotion as directed.

I felt a sense of relief and could get back on with my life.

The Following Day

Well, upon waking the following morning we continued to itch and scratch and we thought it may take a few days for our skin to settle down. We were patient and waited.

After a few days still no signs of improvement. We decided to go through the whole process again just in case we did not get them all. We washed everything, sterilised the mattress, put the smelly lotion on from head to toe… What a drama!

Three days later, no relief.

I decided to go to see another doctor who also gave me the same diagnosis and solution. You’ve got scabies!

Back home again with some more smelly lotion and numerous reenactments of the healing protocol, which wasn’t working, at all.

Business Trip

I was on the tail end of a 2-week business trip and was heading back to the office. I pulled over in my car, still out of town, to grab a bite to eat for lunch.

Next door to the restaurant was a Health Care Clinic. Still scratching myself mad, I decided to see if I could make an appointment to see a Doctor in the spare of the moment. I was in luck, I got to see the doctor immediately.

Upon examination, the doctor asked me many questions. How long have you suffered with this? Did I buy any new personal hygiene products? Did I change my living arrangements? Have I introduced new cleaning products into the home? Did I change my washing machine detergent?

Well, as soon as he asked me that last question, the penny dropped for me!

My girlfriend bought a new washing machine and was given a complimentary 5 kg bag of washing powder.

PROBLEM SOLVED!

I rushed home, gave the washing powder its marching orders and the problem completely disappeared.

Importance Of Getting To The Root Cause Of The Problem

Since that experience many years ago back in Sydney, Australia I have developed the ability to find the root cause of a problem before taking action. This experience created a memory and emotion that I will never forget.

I turned this experience into a positive life lesson.

In my Executive Coaching Service, I apply active listening and ask many essential questions until I can clearly identify the root cause of the problem. The more I invite the client to share the more information I can elicit and clearly identify the next step and or solution.

The solution is very simple if you have the correct root cause of the problem.

I’ve made it my job to be a living Sherlock Holmes when it comes to seeking out the root cause of the challenges and problems the clients present to me.

Over the years I have developed an extremely strong muscle in this area and within a very short space of time I’m able to confidently join the dots and offer the perfect, correct solution to eradicate their problem forever.

We can work all day and night on resolving a problem, BUT, if you don’t have the root cause of your specific problem, all the hard work in the world will be to no avail. Trust me, I know.

What’s that one lingering problem that you want to dissolve and remove from your life once and for all? That professional or personal problem!
