EPISODE SUMMARY:

We access more wisdom when we ask better questions. On this episode of I Wish They Knew, Jeff Wetzler reveals the art of the ask and provides a five-part plan for raising our results and relationships through more powerful, productive questions. We cover lots of territory: How to frame questions with greater curiosity and candor; how to scan for nonverbal "tells" that provide valuable information; and how to listen with purpose. The more we ask, the more we learn -- and after listening to Jeff, you'll be ready to get the answers you always wanted but never had.
