Endless Coffee Cup: Digital Marketing Education

How to Ask Good Questions

Episode Summary

Matt Bailey talks with linguist and educator, Norah Jones about the importance and value of learning to ask questions. Questions enable us to give voice to our curiosity and “tap into humanity.” Unfortunately, in too many environments (home, school, work) we are discouraged from asking questions, as they delay meetings, challenge assumptions, or create additional work. Questions can be seen as disruptive or challenging, yet they create clearer definitions, develop learning and understanding, and enable innovative approaches to solve problems.
