If you looked others in the eye and asked more questions, what would happen?

Would you…

• Strengthen your listening skills?
• Learn more?
• Be more fully in the moment?
• More clearly understand the viewpoint of others?
• Work more effectively with others?
• Build bridges instead of setting fences with declarative statements?
• Avoid some conflicts and misunderstandings?
• Get to better solutions?
• Build more successful partnerships?

Could you…

• Create a space where others can make ideas their own?
• Reinforce and grow your respect and appreciation for others?
• Become more open to possibilities?
• Find unexpected answers that lead to in directions you had not contemplated?
• Amplify your appreciation, curiosity and sense of wonder?
• Grow in humility?
• Put yourself in a position to ask questions you didn’t know you had before?

And if you did ask more questions, do you think others might…

• Sense your respect and appreciate you more?
• Be more interested in working with you?
• Recommend you to others?

What would happen to your relationships?
When would your thought processes begin to deepen?
How would your life be impacted?

Why NOT ask more questions?  Go ahead, roll the dice.  Just remember to listen carefully to the answers.
