Ep. 52 – The Benefits of Asking Questions

Asking questions is so beneficial to our own advancement, so we shouldn’t be afraid to ask them! Here are some key takeaways from this episode: 

• Questions are relative to your own experiences and perspective, and you may feel comfortable framing questions in topics or areas that you have experience in. Still, ask questions outside of your comfort zone!
• Welcome questions from colleagues, students, and clients because the more questions asked, the more understanding and growth a person has, and we excel faster. 
• The only “dumb question” is the one that is not asked, because a question not asked is one that’s holding you back from efficiency, growth, and advancement.
• It’s not up to another person to determine what a valid question is, especially if you need the answer to move forward for a joint or individual goal.
• Getting perspective and clarity from others is so valuable. So, it’s important that we’re open to questions, and we seek others who are open to questions who genuinely want to help and collaborate. You don’t need to have all the answers, but you need to have the conversations in order to gain clarity and move forward.
• Sometimes you may not even know what to ask, but you can always develop your questions and understanding, and sometimes even the analysis is the answer. 
• Value your questions, unknowing, perspectives, and experiences because these are signs of growth.
