πŸŽ™οΈ EP 5 : Great Question – What will make this conversation useful to you?

Listen to this Podcast

Today is our very first β€˜Great Question’ episode. These are small skill-based episode sprinkled in every now and then. They dive deeper into one powerful question, how and why it works and it what context we can use it.


This time we ask the question β€œWhat will make this conversation useful to you?”. It is a simple, yet powerful way to help to direct and to sharpen the focus of the conversation we are about to have. It is also a great way to hand over ownership and trust to the other person to tell us what they have in mind.


Counterintuitively maybe, asking this question becomes more useful, the less time we have for a conversation. Value is in the eye of the receiver, and it is important that we give focus on that.
