In this episode, I will explore the utility of two potent conversational tools: the phrases "tell me more" and "and what else." These expressions serve the dual purpose of showcasing active engagement, promoting empowerment, and revealing concealed insights within a dialogue. I will delve into how "tell me more" acts as a tool for in-depth exploration on a particular subject, vertically digging into it, while "and what else" serves as a means to broaden the discussion horizontally. Additionally, I'll offer practical advice on the proficient application of these phrases and address potential issues like excessive use and impatience.
Main Ideas:
● Reasons to Use "Tell Me More" and "What Else"
● Exploring "Tell Me More"
● Unleashing "And What Else"
● Challenges and Considerations on Using “Tell Me More” and “And What Else”
In general, using these questions in conversations can result in enhanced comprehension and improved communication.
