How to ask powerful questions

I just finished a wonderful day facilitating a workshop on asking powerful questions at eBay in Shanghai.

Why is it important to ask questions effectively?
Learning how to ask questions effectively can help you improve your communication skills and
develop positive relationships with your colleagues, clients and other professionals in your
network. Asking the right questions can also help you gather important information, learn new
things and develop productive solutions. Developing this skill can also help you:
• Improve your interpersonal skills
• Deliver engaging presentations
• Improve your critical thinking skills
• Clarify important conversation points
• Assess other people's knowledge of different topics
• Coach and manage other team members
• Encourage others to reflect on key points
• Diffuse tense situations
• Persuade other people to agree with you
