How Powerful Are Your Questions?

The New Year is a point of reflection and often a time to pencil in a few resolutions. What if the New Year was a trigger to instead consider the power of the questions you ask and how they might help you achieve your goals? This podcast explores the power of framing questions, the implications of problem-framed versus outcome-framed questions, and ways to apply this to your own professional growth or that of your client. The podcast reflects on the power of intentional dialogue when it comes to creating a shift or a change in responding to these types of questions.     Speaker Bios Ian McDermott Ian is Founder and Chief Executive of International Teaching Seminars (ITS).
