Active Questioning Methods

Description

Good questions draw out information that people would not otherwise share. These seven PDF lessons start with the foundations of active questioning and the different types of questions, and when each one fits.

You then learn the funnel technique for moving from broad to specific questions, how questioning connects with active listening, and how to prepare for a questioning session. The last lessons offer practical application exercises and help you develop your own style. Exercises and templates in several lessons let you rehearse questions for real situations such as interviews and one-to-one meetings. After reading, you should be able to plan and ask questions that lead to clearer answers.

Who it is for: professionals in management, sales, research or support who want to ask better questions in conversations.
