Questioning skills and techniques

Benefits of the training

Rubbish in, rubbish out, is a popular saying, often said in relation to computer systems – if you put the wrong information in, you’ll get the wrong information out. The same principle applies to communications in general -if you ask the wrong questions, you’ll probably get the wrong answer or at least not quite what you’re hoping for.

Asking the right question is at the heart of effective communications and information exchange. By using the right questions in a particular situation, you can improve a whole range of communications skills. For example, you can gather better information and learn more, you can build stronger relationships, manage people more effectively and help others to learn too.
