Asking Power Questions: Discovering Practical Solutions

Presented by Ann Wright

As a leader do you ever wonder why one person is so much easier to talk with than another? As leaders we are driven to be good roles models. We strive to use effective communication skills as well as support team members in learning how to communicate with one another. Our ability to connect and facilitate conversations in all areas of our personal and professional lives can enhance greater job performance and satisfaction every day. You will be empowered and learn how to ask powerful open-ended questions in a positive manner, and actively listen for the response, which will encourage others to find their own solutions to challenges they face. By attending and actively participating in this workshop you will walk away with a new appreciation and understanding of how utilizing the right tools, you can become a communication catalyst by asking those powerful questions, listening for understanding and supporting other in discovering practical solutions. Learn how to make the most of every conversation.

Upon Completion of the Workshop Participants will be able to:

Ask Open-ended, Powerful and Thought-provoking Questions
Listen to Understand vs. Listening to Respond
Discover How to Uncover Practical Solutions
