A coaching client recently reminded me of a truth that’s easy to forget: if you want to have a great conversation with someone, focus on trying to be interested, rather than interesting. And how do we demonstrate interest? We ask questions. But there’s more to it than that, and not all questions are created equal.
Our question this episode: how can we use curiosity to make more meaningful connections with others?
My guest is Marcia Reynolds, PhD, MCC. Her newest book is “Coach the Person, Not the Problem: A Guide to Using Reflective Inquiry.” This episode is for coaches, facilitators, leaders, and anyone who wants to have more meaningful conversations.
