How can you and your organization challenge colleagues, motivate the workforce, engage your leaders through brilliant and provocative questions at a brainstorming session, in a meeting, through a virtual conference? What are the questions that make people stop and … imagine? What are the listening skills that will maximize performance and leverage understanding? In this talk, Frank builds upon his book, Ask More: the Power of Questions to Open Doors, Uncover Solutions, and Spark Change, to help you think about your business, your industry, your stakeholders in new and imaginative ways. How can organizations harness the purpose and meaning that people want from their work? What kind of questions, conversations, and stories will build bridges at a divisive time? Where do questions come in when having a difficult conversation? How can inquiry catalyze risk-taking and creativity? This talk shows how the journalist’s most important tools – questions, curiosity, listening, and learning – can be translated to any field to make people more engaged, more aware, and more productive.
