TEDx Talks· 2025-12-16 17:15
Core Argument - The art of asking good questions is crucial for connection, creativity, thinking, and innovation, often more valuable than providing answers [7][8] - Genuine questions are rare in today's society, where people often seek quick answers from social media or AI, and conversations are dominated by "boomerasking" [8][9][10][12] - Asking questions, especially follow-up questions, fosters better relationships and helps individuals understand their own perspectives and behaviors [13][14][28][29] Questioning Techniques - Hypothetical questions shift thinking from problems to possibilities, encouraging the imagination of success and the identification of necessary steps [19][20] - Circular questions provide different perspectives, allowing individuals to see a situation from multiple viewpoints, such as those of clients or friends [23][24][25] - Solution-oriented questions focus on what worked well in the past, promoting a positive and optimistic approach to problem-solving [26][27] Application in Leadership and Coaching - Effective leadership involves asking questions to create a space for true thinking and understanding, rather than simply providing answers [14][27] - The speaker's work as a psychologist and coach involves educating people to ask better questions and helping clients gain clarity through questioning [8][14][15] - Anyone can learn to ask better questions and help others find their own answers, making it a valuable skill for various contexts [15][16][29]
