Reflect: Your blocks to open-ended questions

We all ask limiting questions sometimes. Often when something has prevented us from listening actively or something makes us feel uncomfortable in the conversation.

Take a moment to reflect on what might lead you to ask limiting questions.

Blocks and discomforts

Think back over how you have shown up in conversations over the last week or so at work. Do you recognise any blocks or discomforts that might lead you to ask more limited questions?

Do you experience any of the below blocks or discomforts?

Reflect and take notes.

I wait for my turn to respond

I refine my question with more questions

I guide someone to the right answer

I am uncomfortable with silence or emotion

I want to avoid lengthy repetitive conversations

I am uncomfortable not knowing where the conversation is going
