The Power Of Asking Questions

There is a stigma surrounding asking questions because of fear, embarrassment, or even appearing to be impolite. Today we unpack why asking questions is powerful and can build stronger bonds between people. Tuning in you’ll hear our beliefs when it comes to giving advice, why decisions are subjective, and why you don’t need to have the answers to peoples’ problems as sometimes just asking them questions can help them solve them on their own. We also discuss why empathy and compassion is imperative as well as why you should let go of judgment towards other people because we all have our own struggles. Next, we discuss why question-asking can be magical and is even a love language in itself. Lastly, we explore why curiosity through asking questions is a very attractive quality and makes you fun to be around. Join us on Inner Archeology to learn about the power of asking questions!
