The Questions We Avoid

In many ways, the quality of your work is defined by the questions you ask. Those who ask the best questions ultimately get closest to the heart of the situation, and in many cases ultimately win. However, you are also defined by the questions that you choose to avoid. If you run away from important questions because they’re uncomfortable to address, then you might compromise your body of work and never fully achieve your potential.

On this episode, we share three important questions that many people choose to avoid rather than ask:
What’s not working?
What am I really trying to do?
What do I suspect, but don’t want to know?
