Somebody Has To Ask The Questions
Listen to "Somebody Has To Ask The Questions" on Spreaker.
I'm blessed with the opportunity to speak to many large groups of people. From my point of view I see a lot of arms crossed, people checking their smart phones and or nodding off in the center of a thought. Activating those in attendance requires participation. Engaging them with the type of leadership that needs their input. That's why the majority of my purpose is to have a plan. I play a game in the beginning called Three Questions. On this podcast I talk about how such openness physically creates a connection. We are taught by so many leaders in business to just show up and not say anything because they're in control and it's your job to pull off what they've planned. Almost like a preacher who dumped 40 minutes of thought into your heart but never allows you to ask questions at the end. I'm not embarrassed to tell those who attend my lectures that you've only got my experience for a few moments. Once I'm out that door don't call me with questions. Ask your questions in this moment so we can grow together. The quietest people, those that hide behind the strength of others begin to release their fears and find enough open space to include their questions in the conversation. Somebody has to ask the questions. By way of experience we learn. We grow. We teach. We learn again and again.
