How to Ask Better Questions in Meetings
The Power of Active Listening
The strength of good questions lies in your ability to listen, both before and after the question is asked.
Do you struggle to figure out what the best question is to ask your clients or manager?
Do you struggle to create rapport during meetings?
Are you unable to read between the lines to uncover the client’s needs or understand their motivation? The answer lies in building a better listening practice.
If you fail to listen, you fail to build rapport which can lead to loss of sales, reduced motivation in employees, missed deadlines, and more. It is imperative to build good listening habits to propel your career.
What is Active Listening:
Active listening is a critical skill in asking better questions. It involves paying full attention to the speaker, understanding their message, and what lies beneath their message, and using that information to ask more focused and relevant questions.
When people feel heard and understood, they are more likely to trust and collaborate with others. Additionally, active listening can help to resolve conflicts and build stronger, more productive teams.
