SEVEN WAYS TO ASK BETTER QUESTIONS Instead of question stacking, try one and done. Instead of a teaching moment, try a learning moment. Instead of a dirty question, try a clean question. Instead of a binary question, start the question with “what” or “how.” Instead of a “why” question, try “tell me more.” Instead of self-affirming questions, try self-educating questions. Instead of jumping to the future, start with present, past, then future.
