You can literally change your life - and your results - by changing the questions you ask yourself and others. This high-impact skill can make a transformational difference everywhere it is applied: at work as well as in our personal lives. Developing expertise in asking the best questions often yields a high 'return on investment'; it empowers more successful communication, decision-making, problem-solving, and innovation. The best results really do begin with the best questions.
This "teach them to fish" workshop is dynamic, enlightening, and very practical. You'll learn easy-to-apply methods for changing your questions simply and strategically, discover the effectiveness of asking questions versus giving advice, and gain confidence in asking and responding to questions.
Skills and tools taught in the workshop include how to think with questions, called Question Thinking (QT), the Choice Map, Learner and Judger mindsets, and Q-StormingHTML clipboard ®, a QT practice that often produces breakthroughs in possibilities and results. You'll discover how to transform limiting, "troublemaker" questions into positive, productive ones as well as how the QT work strengthens emotional intelligence. Most importantly, you'll be able to apply what you learn to make an immediate and positive difference in getting the results you want.
You are welcome to download a free copy of the Choice Map, a powerful guide for changing your questions, from www.InquiryInstitute.com.
A follow-up teleseminar will be announced. Tuition includes continental breakfast, lunch and workshop materials. This workshop is ideal for coaches, consultants, managers, leaders, educators, clergy and counselors.
