Want to be a better listener? Ask better questions 🙋♀️
Here are 3 critical question types that have transformed the way I think and the way I listen:
1️⃣ Clarification:
Always seek to understand first.
⇢ ‘What do you mean by X?’
⇢ ‘What I understand is [summarise]. Is that correct?’
2️⃣ Reason & Evidence:
Dig deeper into the ‘whys.’
⇢ ‘What led you to that perspective?’
⇢ ‘What other information might we need?’
3️⃣ Implications
Explore the consequences and possibilities.
⇢ ‘What effect would that have?’
⇢ ‘If that happened, what else would happen as a result?’
P.S. What’s your best tip to demonstrate active listening? 👇
