The Art of Powerful Questions | Allen Saakyan | TEDxSanFrancisco

Allen Saakyan is a thought-provoking interviewer and producer of multidisciplinary shows in which he interviews some of the most creative scientists, entrepreneurs, and educators of our time. He invites us in his world of "how and why we ask questions" and how it impacts the way we think. His latest production is Simulation, which is hosted both on YouTube and at live events with the mission to rebirth the public intellectual & inspire people to build the future. This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.

Best I've ever seen....along side Bernie Brown vulnerability Talks! Thank-you so much for sharing yourself and all its profound wisdom.

Very cool Allen. I see when you finally connected with yourself in this presentation. Mind you I would have been the terrified person up on stage, but once you got into the pillars, you NAILED IT. You became very animated, very powerful energy.
One piece of advice - go back and re-watch the first 4 minutes, and if you can ask yourself 'What were you feeling at those moments, and see if you can add that to your presentation. Humanize that! Btw, I love the fact there were two women taking notices of your talk (I Hope) in the audience. GREAT JOB!!!! Kudos

not bad. i liked his questions & shirt

[carrieallmon]

Yup! Totally on board with this. Thank you for this perspective, Simulation :)

I'm not convinced in the power of deep questions. Beacon level humans are among us, captivating those who care to look and learn. Awareness is great. But without some form of loving-kindness intention, more muddy water than wine is the result.

Love it. Excellent intro bringing yourself to others' attention and then delving into your main points! Looking forward to future talks!
