from Inside Personal Growth with Greg Voisen · host Greg Voisen

In this podcast, Greg Voisen sits down with Marilee Adams, Ph.D., the bestselling author and founder of the Inquiry Institute, to deep dive into the fifth edition of her life-altering book, Change Your Questions, Change Your Life: 14 Powerful Tools for Leadership, Coaching, and Results. Have you ever considered that the quiet, unnoticed questions running through your mind are completely shaping your career, your relationships, and your entire reality? Dr. Adams reveals how a single, devastating moment in her advisor’s office unlocked a universal breakthrough: the choice between the reactive "Judger" mindset and the open "Learner" mindset. If you want to discover how to catch yourself before falling into the "Judger Pit," how to utilize a visual "Choice Map," and how to radically transform your communication style using uniquely human critical thinking in the age of AI, this conversation holds the master key. 🎯 What Listeners Will Learn - The Power of the Choice Map: How to visually identify whether your internal dialogue is taking you down the path of a Judger or a Learner, and how to actively choose your path moment by moment. - Mastering the "Switching Lane": Practical, go-to switching questions—such as "How else can I think about this?"—that instantly interrupt hurtful thoughts and redirect your brain toward solutions and connection. - Somatic Awareness and the Power of Pause: Why your body often notices a "Judger" reaction before your mind does, and how new tools like four-square breathing and hands-on-heart practices accelerate emotional intelligence. - Revolutionizing Relationships and Leadership: How to listen with "Learner ears" to transform marital communication and why the world's most successful leaders focus on asking curious questions rather than dictating rigid answers. - Navigating AI with Human Curiosity: How to maintain high-quality critical thinking and prompt engineering when collaborating with artificial intelligence, ensuring you don't just "swallow answers whole."
