Ask More

ebook

What hidden skill links successful people in all walks of life? The answer is surprisingly simple: they know how to ask the right questions at the right time.

Questions help us break down barriers, discover secrets, solve puzzles, and imagine new ways of doing things. The right question can provide for us not only the answer we need right then but also the ones we'll need tomorrow.

Emmy award–winning journalist and media expert Frank Sesno wants to teach you how to question others in a methodical, intentional way so that you can find the same success that others have found by mastering this simple skill.

In Ask More, you will learn:

  • How the Gates Foundation used strategic questions to plan its battle against malaria
  • How turnaround expert Steve Miller uses diagnostic questions to get to the heart of a company's problems
  • How creative questions animated a couple of techie dreamers to brainstorm Uber
  • How journalist Anderson Cooper uses confrontational questions to hold people accountable
  • Throughout Ask More, you'll explore all different types of inquiries—from questions that cement relationships, to those that will help you plan for the future. By the end, you'll know what to ask and when, what you should listen for, and what you can expect as the outcome.
