The Recap

Curiosity levels up any professional’s ability to address problems without causing others to become defensive. And, it turns out what we get curious about makes a difference! Different questions trigger our brains to produce different types of answers. Join Kari Granger and Paul Adams as they guide us through what questions to ask to get to the core of a breakdown and back in action again!

Tweetable Moments

“’Why’ questions produce explanations. Explanations come from the creative side of the brain, not from the area of the brain that references what happened.”

“When we go down the ‘Why’ questioning lane, we get into big, contextual domains — far from the result we’re trying to produce.”

“’Why’ questions get us to the outcome or purpose. ‘What’ questions get us to the action.”

“‘What’ questions allow us to quickly intervene in what isn’t working so we can fulfill on what matters to us.”

“When you need to tactically address breakdowns and get back in action, ‘what questions’ are a tool for zeroing in on the specific actions were or weren’t taken and identifying what new actions would be productive.”
