What is this lunch talk about?
Effective questioning involves more than gathering information. Clear, purposeful questions help people explore ideas, clarify assumptions and understand concerns before reaching conclusions.
This talk explores open and closed questions, active listening and probing techniques, helping participants guide discussions, investigate problems and encourage meaningful contributions.
Participants consider how reflective enquiry, curiosity and adaptable questioning can improve coaching conversations, customer interactions and collaborative workplace problem-solving.
