The Writing Coach Podcast 101: Ask back

WCP101 Ask back

The way we think about and prepare questions shapes our conversations, our stories, and our own learning. Today I’m teaching a thinking technique that will redirect you back to yourself and your own knowledge. This will allow you to show up with an extra layer or two of understanding whenever you ask a question.

The way we think about and prepare questions shapes our conversations, our stories, and our own learning.

Today I’m teaching a thinking technique that will redirect you back to yourself and your own knowledge. This will allow you to show up with an extra layer or two of understanding whenever you ask a question. I’ll show you three different examples of how to Ask Back: Requesting an interview from a reluctant source, preparing interview questions, and getting the most out of a coaching session.

Ask Back is simple and powerful, and you’ve almost certainly done it spontaneously already; look for opportunities to use it today.
