Ask the Right Questions to Get the Right Answers

  1. Great questions! We often expect everything to simply work and sort itself out and are surprised when it doesn’t. Asking good questions can help us along the way.

  2. Thanks, Linda, for these wonderful questions. I agree completely. One of my favorite observations is “Asking the right question is 90% of finding the right answer.” I just blogged about business networking tips, and I could have linked to your list.

    • I guess that’s my education in Spiritual Psychology and Life Coaching coming through.

  3. Good questions are vital! Nice post and nice list of questions. I am in the process of evaluating the “why” of something I am working on, and your question list will be helpful. Thanks for sharing.
