Asking Questions and Giving Advice

As an exercise today, take an internal inventory of when you are asking others questions vs when you give others advice (solicited or not).

Asking others questions brings about self-generated insights.

Giving advice is a form of giving your insights to others.

It is no secret that people act much more quickly and with much more intentionality when they generate their own insights.

And, studies show that when you ask a number of questions, aid someone in coming up with self-generated insights, at that point their brain is then more open to the advice you have.

How much more possibility would you have access today if you led with intentional questions?
