Description

How many meetings does it take to make your colleagues improve? (Or: How far can you push a rope?) I have had little success in *making* others change. But we can help them discover their own motivation to change, through Powerful Questions. After that we need simply invite them to participate in designing the change they really need. This is the way to get engagement that leads to lasting change, change you do not need to "push". The skill of asking Powerful Questions brings the tool of "pull" to your work. When you create a safe environment, in which it is ok to ask without knowing the answer, in which people can get curious and access their own creativity, you set the conditions for people to "pull" the help they need and to invent their own solutions. These may be different, but possibly also better than your solution, because they come from the richness of on-the-ground experience and address what is important to their own success. Facilitation will be in imperfect Quebecoise french. Group exercise will be in the language of your choice :-) The cards for this exercise are available in 5 languages, including French.

Benefits for the attendees

In this one-hour workshop, you'll • learn to spot common habits we all have, that make our questions fall flat • discuss with others, to understand the subtletles that make a question more powerful to effect lasting change. • learn an exercise that you can use with your colleagues, to teach this skill. • design on one experiment you will try at home or work, to ask more open questions.
