How to: Ask Questions That Evoke Change & Drive Results

​About the Session:

​There's a simple yet powerful tool that influential people use in important or challenging meetings. It isn't always about who they've brought to the room or the agenda they crafted. It's how they ask the kinds of questions that change everything.

I'm Leah Yoneda, founder of the Golden Ginkgo Group. As a coach, I've been trained on how to ask what we call "powerful questions.” It’s one of our primary tools in coaching to evoke change. I’ve discovered this same technique has almost magical results when I’m talking to anyone. This technique works with bosses, direct reports, friends, and even children. It’s not my intent to withhold the secret of this technique, but it works much better if I can explain what it is and how it works. Join me as I share the art of asking powerful questions, and how it can change the trajectory of any discussion.
