Questions are paths that lead to solutions—at least we expect them to. But some questions can lead us away from the solutions we’re after, or create the very difficulties we wish to avoid. This podcast will explore questions that guide your thinking and how, often unintentionally, those question constrain your options or inhibit a better conversation. We will explore how asking the better question can provide greater insight into your stakeholders underlying drivers or improve your chances of finding the solutions you need.
Guests will include decision analysis experts, organizational psychologists, behavioral science experts, linguistic researchers, change agent leaders, leaders of organizational transformations, and innovation experts. But most importantly, this “32 minutes of wisdom” podcast will offer you an opportunity to learn quick pointers from a leading facilitation and decision coach expert, Katherine Rosback, author of Asking is Better Than Telling.
Welcome to What’s Another Question, where YOU explore and gain insight into better questions for framing your thinking and guiding your actions.
