Why The Right Questions?

Well, the right questions are the ones that get us the right answers. As Francis Bacon observed:

“A prudent question is one half of wisdom.”

More recently, Ginni Rometty, formerly Executive Chairman of IBM said that:

So let me ask you a few questions:

• Are you seeking more direction and want to live a life that reflects your values?
• Would you like to lead yourself and others more effectively?
• Do you want to get better at setting priorities and making better decisions?
• Would you like help with creating an action plan to help you achieve your goals and dreams?

If you have answered yes to any of these, then you are in the right place. And before you go any further, to get you started, there is a free action plan that you can get by using the link below.

What is The Right Questions about?

The Right Questions is all about helping people lead themselves and others better. Key to this is being curious. Asking effective questions about you, those around you, and your situation helps develop understanding, which leads to better choices, plans, and outcomes.

How did The Right Questions start?

Well, to understand that, let me first ask another question:

How do you deal with an unexploded bomb?

This is an academic question to most, but for me, there were times when it was very real, and I needed the right answer. That’s because my first job after university was as a Bomb Disposal Officer.

You can hear more of my story by watching my TEDx talk:

One key lesson of this experience can be summed in this quote from one of my instructors:

“The quality of your plan, your decision and your success are dependent upon asking the right questions.”
