to have rated themselves a "7" they must be comparing themselves to what a "10" looks like.
So the next response and question to ask is:
"A rating of 7? That's great. What would a 10 look like to you?"
Let them explain this and probe a little deeper.
What you are doing here is stimulating a conversation by using an alternative method other than just saying "What is going good right now?"
To someone who is naturally shy you are not going to get a lot out of them by asking this question.
Then, the next steps would be to ask:
"So you have described a 10. And you rate yourself a 7. What do you need to do to bridge the gap?"
I hope you can see how powerful this method is?
And you can use it on all types of people not just the shy ones - I use it all of the time!
