Beautiful Questions!

I have always had a fascination with questions. What makes a good question? How to know what question to ask? What can questions unlock? Recently I was reminded about the nature of questions in the Unhinged Collaboration podcast by Tricia Friedman with guest Dr Fran Prolman. I really was inspired when they asked, what is a question that would help me understand who you really are?

It got me thinking about powerful questions and those which reveal the true nature of ourselves. Here are some of my favourites which I have collected over the years from many different inspirational people. I like to call them, Beautiful Questions!

• What's a belief or value that you will never compromise on and why?

• What's a moment in your life or a person that shaped the person you are today?

• If someone wrote a book about your life, what would the central theme be?

• What kind of legacy do you want to leave behind?

• What do you turn to for comfort or inspiration when things get tough?

• If you could solve one problem in the world what would it be and why?

• How do you hope people feel after interacting with you?

• What's something you're working on improving about yourself and why?

• When do you feel the most fulfilled or alive?

• What do you think people misunderstand about you the most?

• Where does your story begin?

• Who knows you well and what would they say are your strengths and areas for growth?

• What are you doing what you are doing at this time?

• What would happen if you tried the exact opposite of your current approach?

• How might someone with a completely different perspective approach your current challenge?

• What assumptions are you making about a situation and what if they weren't true?

• If you weren't constrained by time or resources what would you do differently?

• What's the one thing you're avoiding that might actually solve your current problem?
