Get better information, strengthen relationships and have more impact

“There are no stupid questions” - a phrase uttered by teachers and leaders around the globe; however, it’s a half-truth. While there may not be stupid questions, there are weak ones that frankly don’t produce much insight. And there are great questions, too.

Learn to breathe life into ideas, encourage people’s passion, expand horizons, solve real problems and fuel an environment where people feel comfortable giving complete information. This is the course you need to expand your professional toolkit, strengthen all your relationships, boost your credibility and get better results. The rewards will be exponential!

Learning Objectives:
By the end of this course you will be able to

  • Use a variety of questioning techniques that will greatly expand your professional toolkit 
  • Uncover assumptions that underlie work rather than taking things at face value 
  • Be more inquisitive 
  • Boost your question-asking skills with clean listening and empathic listening techniques 
  • Probe for the deeper purpose, meaning or motivation 
  • Question in a way that helps others think more deeply, broadly or differently
  • Employ a structured methodology for asking questions


Who this course is for: 

Anyone who needs to ask a question for their job and could be asking a whole lot better ones. Well suited to any professional - from early career (e.g. job interviews; one on one's) to mid to very senior (board-level questioning skills).
