One component of my Ten Minute Virtuoso method for learning and mastering skills is to use simple and quick strategies that have large-scale results. I’m constantly hunting for these easy-to-use strategies to help you achieve your goals and get the outcomes you’re looking for.
I ran across a terrific article by Josh Spector on how to ask better questions. He’s got 9 suggestions, each of which is easy to implement immediately.
Included in his list is one of my favorites for going deep quickly: Ask Why three times. If you’ve never used this in a conversation, give it a shot. You’ll be surprised at how much information someone will give you when you show this level of interest in their answers.
