Change Your Questions Change Your World (Cherie Silas, Allison Pollard)
Limited Capacity seats available

Abstract:
At a critical moment in history the world pivoted because people began to look at things from a different perspective. They stopped asking themselves, “How do we make our product large enough for people to see?” and started asking themselves, “How can I make my product more visible to the public?”
When we change our questions we get entirely different outcomes. Questions are powerful tools in the hands of agile teams that can help people discover innovative solutions that have been locked inside waiting to be released into our products!
Join us for a high-energy workshop that teaches how questions can be used to help a team learn, grow, and break through thought barriers. Learn what makes certain questions provoke more thought than others and how to make your questions more impactful.
Participants in this session will discover how to change the way they currently communicate to incorporate powerful questions that will unlock new thinking patterns in their teams. They will also interactively learn how to identify if the way questions are being asked are actually impacting others in the manner intended.
Learning Outcomes:
  • How questions can be used to help a team learn, grow, and break through thought barriers.
  • Learn what makes certain questions provoke more thought than others and how to make your questions more impactful.
  • Participants in this session will discover how to change the way they currently communicate to incorporate powerful questions that will unlock new thinking patterns in their teams.

  • They will also interactively learn how to identify if the way questions are being asked are actually impacting others in the manner intended. (An interactive activity to discover how questions feel and impact listener from different mental perspectives - curious, angry, etc..)
