What is the best possible question you can ask, when you're curious about someone or something?

The #MerriCast is the podcast show that puts you on the fast track to business confidence. And this week I'm taking a more personal look on the role that curiosity played in building my confidence.

When I was younger I lacked a lot of personal confidence. I developed it through asking lots of questions about the world around me. And I (very) slowly came to realise that real confidence came through the answers. They helped me find 'joy in the journey' rather than just striving to get to 'the top', whatever that means.

Now I want to help others find confidence and joy in their own journey …

I have 5Cs in my coaching model – inevitably, they all have to begin with the same letter (Merriden's First Law of Alliteration🙂 ) – and the first of these is to help others release power of their …. Curiosity.

Well the first thing is – it’s not a gift, it’s a skill! Curiosity is really, really coming into its own in a very messy world, and the great news is that it is very, very learnable. So I'll be asking ..

* How can you pick the right questions to ask of others, without just seeming a bit nosey?

* Which questions work best (put your own in the link below!)?

* And how can you take the discoveries you make for your your own personal growth?
