Communication skills: Asking questions

 

The right question at the right time has the power to unlock a new way of thinking. This is collaboration at its best - two people listening to each other, asking questions and building on each other's ideas.


But the wrong question can stop creativity in its tracks.


Are you ready to learn how to ask high quality questions?

Question time

The quality of your questions will be dependent on the quality of your listening, so you will need to draw on your listening skills from the previous chapter here.

What would you ask her?

Listen to Sara in the video below. Make a note of the first question that comes to your mind.
