Description

Relationships: we all want better professional and personal relationships. Improving your questioning skills is a powerful way to build stronger, better relationships. That's why, according to Anthony Robbins, successful people ask better questions.

Asking questions is a critical communication skill that most of us pay little attention to. It is the linchpin to building stronger relationships, both professionally and personally. Learn to understand others before making, and acting on, inaccurate judgments that end up making things worse rather than better.

Ask better questions and you will develop:

open, more trusting relationships

a deeper understanding of others and their perspectives

a way to stop judging and start listening

decisions based on information rather then assumption

reduced levels of tension and conflict

Almost 9000 students have recognized the positive difference strong questioning skills will make to their professional & personal relationships.
