Issue #11 Want better results? Ask better questions.

[Issue #11]

This week we cracked open The Coaching Habit 
by Michael Bungay Stanier.

Interestingly, It’s not about becoming a better coach by talking more—it’s about mastering the art of saying less. The book’s cornerstone idea? Stop defaulting to advice-giving and start asking questions that matter.

Stanier shares seven deceptively simple questions, like "What’s on your mind?" and "What else?" that cut through the noise and spark meaningful conversations. It’s all about drawing insights from people, not imposing them on them.

This week, challenge yourself: Ask fewer questions that start with "why" and more that start with "what."

"People don’t buy what you do; they buy why you do it." – Simon Sinek

What’s one question you could ask someone this week that would truly help them reflect and grow?
