What to ask and when
To reach the outcome you seek

In this webcast Frank Sesno, former CNN anchor, White House correspondent and Washington bureau chief; reveals a new way to think about how you can use questions to be more productive, creative and effective at most everything you do.

Author of Ask More: The Power of Questions to Open Doors, Uncover Solutions, and Spark Change Frank draws on his decades of experience as an interviewer on CNN, NPR and in front of live audiences to explain how different types of questions work, lead to distinct outcomes and employ different listening skills.

Drawing on stories from his career and from the extraordinary people he interviewed for his new book, he offers questioning tactics you can put to use to more effectively solve problems, set strategy, inspire creativity, spark innovation, prompt curiosity and connect with people at the office or in your living room.

This webcast will change the way you think about the questions you ask, and offer practical ideas for better listening. It will help you realize there’s a world of discovery and success – if you know how to ask for it

Discover:

• How questions really work, and how they can work for you
• Tips for selecting the most effective line of questioning by knowing:
  • What you’re after; what outcome you want
  • What and when to ask
  • What to listen for, and how to follow up with another question
• How to ask diagnostic questions to discover “the why” when something’s not right
• Ways to use strategic questions to consider long-range opportunities, threats, risks and potential
• How creativity questions help with blue sky, brainstorming sessions that invite aiming high and thinking big
• What you ask and how you follow-up is driven to a large extent by careful, deliberate, intense and active listening

You are what you ask.
