The quality of your outcome depends on the quality of your questions.

Through asking the right questions we can spark innovation and creativity, gain deeper knowledge in the topics that are most important to us, and propel us forward in our personal and professional pursuits.

Yet very few of us do it well \u2014 if we do it at all.

My guest on the podcast today is Warren Berger \u2014 journalist, speaker, best selling author, and self-proclaimed questionologist.

His insightful book A More Beautiful Question shows how the world\u2019s leading innovators, education leaders, creative thinkers, and red-hot start-ups ask game-changing questions to nurture creativity, solve problems, and create new possibilities.

In this episode, we discuss the importance of asking the right questions, why they\u2019re critical to your success, and how you may be one great question away from a major breakthrough.

You\u2019ll also learn:

• How Warren manages the constant input and stimulation from online consumption when it\u2019s time to create.
• The small habits that pack the biggest punch and make the most difference in Warren\u2019s life
• What makes a question more or less effective
• How to create a culture where questions are welcome and encouraged
• Why answering all your kids\u2019 questions may be doing them a disservice \u2014 and what to do instead
• What \u201ccollaborative inquiry\u201d is and how to use it to get the most out of your teams in the workplace
• How Warren transformed one of his most painful failures into one of his most proud achievements
• Why Warren insists that everyone is creative, and what we can do to fan the flames of our own creativity

If you think you could improve the quality (and frequency) of your questions to enhance key areas of your life, this is not a conversation you\u2019ll want to miss.
