10 BEST QUESTIONS EVER

Guest Post by Dan Rockwell

Asking questions is the smartest thing you can do.

Most important, asking a question creates silence and silence is the ultimate opportunity.

10 Best Questions Ever

1. At the end of a conversation – “Is there anything I should be asking?”
2. While talking with a passionate person – “What’s important to you, right now?”
3. At the beginning of a meeting – “Why are we here?”
4. At the end of a meeting – “Who does what, by when?”
5. Any time – “How can I help?”
6. When receiving criticism or advice – “Where will your suggestions take us?”
7. With your wife – “What can I do that makes you feel loved?”
8. With your husband – “What can I do that makes you feel respected?”
9. With your children – “What am I doing that frustrates you?”
10. Within your own mind – “What vision drives me right now?”

Bonus question when conversations are ending – “Do you have any questions?”

Bonus stupid question – “Why do psychics have to ask your name?”

Reminder:  Always follow a question with silence.

Which question can you use today?  What questions do you like asking?
