If you enjoyed this podcast, we'd love to hear from you!
When you ask a question, how much room do you leave for an honest answer?
“Why did you do it like that?” and “Talk me through your thinking” can lead to very different conversations. The words we choose influence whether someone feels able to explain, admit uncertainty or challenge an assumption.
In this bonus episode of The Secrets of Learning and Development, Valerie Merrill and Julia Bend explore the secret power of great questions — in leadership, learning and the conversations we have with ourselves.
They examine how familiar questions can keep us returning to the same conclusions, why positive feedback can leave important gaps hidden and what we miss when we’re busy preparing our next response.
Listen for practical ways to ask with greater purpose, hear more of what matters and give yourself permission to reconsider what you think you know.
