Ask one better question

One question, chosen in advance, is usually worth more than a prepared position.

How to do it

  1. Name the person and what you have been trying to get them to see.

  2. Write down what you do not actually know about how they see it.

  3. Turn that into one open question you could ask today.

  4. Ask it, and let the answer finish before you say anything.

A real question changes a conversation faster than a better argument.

If you want to write something

What does the other person believe happened?
