About this listen

This episode emphasizes the paramount importance of asking better questions as a foundational skill for consultants striving to become strategic partners within their organizations. We delve into the significance of transitioning from an answer-centric mindset to one that prioritizes inquiry, thereby fostering deeper understanding and enhancing professional relationships. Throughout our discussion, we elucidate various types of questions—contextual, depth-oriented, and future-focused—that can significantly elevate the quality of consultations and decision-making processes. Furthermore, we identify common pitfalls associated with questioning, including the risk of leading inquiries and the potential for interrogative styles that stifle genuine dialogue. By the conclusion of the episode, we offer practical exercises designed to cultivate effective questioning habits, ultimately leading to more impactful consulting practices.
