In this week’s episode, I’m sharing some personal reflections on a skill that sits at the heart of my coaching and leadership work: asking questions.

After receiving some unexpected feedback - “Here you go again with your edgy questions” - and diving into a VoicePrint diagnostic on communication styles, I’ve been reflecting deeply on how I use inquiry and probing in conversations.

I explore the fine line between powerful questions and ones that feel intrusive, the risk of overusing our strengths, and where I might be holding back in articulating or advocating.

Whether you’re a coach, a leader, or just someone who wants to communicate more effectively, this is a raw and reflective look at the questions we ask - and the ones we don’t.

Here are the highlights:

Reflective Practice and Effective Questions (1:22)

Diagnostic Tool and Communication Behaviours (3:03)

Challenges and Insights from Feedback (8:46)

Observations from Recorded Conversations (12:11)

Conclusion and Future Reflections (15:01)
