Unlocking the power of beautiful questions / Warren Berger / Episode #131
If you're asking really good questions, you're going to get better results.
This is a quote from the conversation with Warren Berger. Warren is the author of The Book of Beautiful Questions.
Definitely one of my favorite books from 2021 that I'm sharing left and right.
So I was really excited that Warren agreed to come on the Show and share his thoughts with us.
Of course we address a lot of questions during this episode. Here are a few of my personal highlights:
* How do we bring more and better questions into our own practice?
* How can we build an appetite for questioning with our (business) leaders?
* And how can we help people transition from only asking how questions to also ask the why questions?
I think the challenge many service designers face is that companies see a conflict between asking better questions and getting things done.
Well, if you find yourself in this kind of environment then this episode has tons of practical advice on how you can make progress.
During the episode we announce a small contest where you get the chance to win a signed copy of Warren's book! So make sure you stick around till the end.
Enjoy the conversation and keep asking better questions :)
