The Power Of Questions

One of the most powerful (though underutilized) communication tools that we have is the ability to ask questions. Questions have the ability to:

• Improve somebody else's day - Can I help you with that? 
• Develop and grow businesses - Is there a better way to solve this problem?
• Deepen relationships - How are you coping?
• Keep our lives on track - Are you sure you want to do that?

The purpose of a question is NOT to get an answer, it's to inspire thought. For this reason, questions are much more powerful than advice.The next time you are about to give advice, I challenge you to instead ask the other person a question... A question that will make that person think and discover their own solution.
