Since you presented it at Creative Mornings, my new favourite go to question - is one that's been apparent to us all (because it's Facebook's status question): WHAT'S ON YOUR MIND? It's not about 'what you did' or 'what you're going to do', but rather asks what is going on in the here and now at THIS present moment.

I like asking these questions that help to uncover how I may help others (in no particular order): 1. Where have you always wanted to travel to? 2. Who did you last meet? Following-up with why if needed. 3. Who are you meeting next? Following-up with your do you want to meet right now? 4. What are you working on right now? 5. What do you want to be working on? 6. How do you (or your company) help others?

These are great Colin. Really digging #4 to understand if people are living their potential right now.

I think another very important thing is to ask questions to yourself. And being honest with yourself.

Zlatin, this is a good point. No time better than the present for that type of self-reflection.

Thanks for the great video

Hey boss! 👀👀👀Thanks for the awesome video. I’ll be asking great questions for sure! 💥👍🏽💥👍🏽💥💥

Some notes! The Basic’s: Be Brief Ask Open Ended Questions Make it About the Other Person. Before the questioning starts we need to develop a few things: * Do you care about me? * Can you help me? * Do I trust you? How do you do this? Go First. Share with something real, raw and vulnerable Five Keys to Effective Questioning 1. Simplify your ask * One sentence questions. * EX: Whats on your mind? * What is your ideal scenario look like here? 2. Dig deeper on second question * The first answer you get is the worst. * Forget about your next question and have the courage to step into uncertainty with the follow up. This does a few things: This shows you listened, that you care, that you want to learn more. The interviewee will feel heard and respected. This builds ground work * EX: Can you elaborate on that? * So is what you're saying… (recap) * Just ask why, 3. Ask for stories, nor just answers * Stories are filled with emotion, answers are filled with logic. * Consider these three theme’s when asking a story question: * Trails * When is the last time you did something for the first time? When did you suck? * Transitions * How did you change? * Triumphs * What was the blueprint, what was the strategy to become so successful. Where they shine and share their moment of glory 4. Don’t Assume the Answer * Don’t assume the answer. Don’t create context, keep things open so the person you're interviewing can think for them selves 5. Silence is a killer! * Can be great if the interviewee is really thinking about the question. Throw out the question, be silent, watch magic happen.

Riaz, check out some videos on vocal sibilance. It is easily controllable with a little effort :)
