Description:
This workshop offers a core curriculum for leaders (from the front-line to the executive) – in asking questions that transform workplace dynamics, relationships and results.  

Where a leader puts their attention matters.  When a leader asks powerful questions, it acts as a stimulant to hope, creativity, and do-able solutions to complex challenges.  

This workshop will introduce leaders to a versatile, reliable toolkit for leading any kind of meeting where change is desired.  This toolkit can be used one-on-one; team meetings; in collaborations with external partners; and in any situation where there is unsatisfactory circumstances or progress.  

Learn to guide conversations that spark creativity, strengthen relationships, and drive actionable results—one powerful question at a time.

Learning objectives:

• Practice a toolkit of questions that can be adapted to any issue or change-focused topic.
• Learn facilitation insights for improving conversations - i.e. when to be silent, how to address “I don’t know”, when people answer a different question or you have a long talker in the group, etc. 
• Explore how to incorporate this toolkit into one-on-one meetings; team meetings; and meetings with external partners, Board and funders.
• Gain a scripted set of questions for a meeting of any size, any purpose, of the learners choice.

Register now to build skills that turn everyday meetings and interactions into opportunities for change, creativity, and collaboration.

Registration fee: General - $300 |  Student and group rates are available
