How well do you ask questions?Asking questions can be more than a way to elicit an answer. They allow us to form connections. Used in the right way they are a powerful tool for us to learn from each other.In this episode I am joined by philosopher, Dr Pia Lauritzen, who spends her life researching the art and science of question-making.

We also delve into why you need to find out what people care about to be able to connect through questions.“Questions are probably the most powerful way of being in the world” – Pia LauritzenYou'll hear about:What is the power of questions?What does it take to break down barriers?How do you connect around questions?The balance between questions and knowledgeFinding out what people care aboutTools to help with questioningAI and questioningCoaching people to ask better questionsHow Pia has improved her questioningThe impact Pia wants to have on the worldAbout Pia Lauritzen:Pia Lauritzen is a Danish philosopher and tech entrepreneur.

Have you ever suffered from anxiety?We all have anxiety. At best, it gives us energy, drive and ambition, but at its worst it can be debilitating. I haven't met or worked with a leader who isn't anxious. The problem is that not many talk about it privately or even publicly.My guest in this episode, Morra Aarons-Mele, is raising our consciousness, understanding and practices in all things anxiety. We talk about what causes anxiety, where it shows up at work and in life, and what you can do to create a healthier relationship with it. She also covers how to listen to your inner voice, how to get in tune with your body, and how it reacts in order to understand different triggers and traps. I was genuinely and sincerely moved by this conversation, especially given some of my own challenges with loneliness.“Anxiety is an ancient emotion in our toolkit of emotions for a reason” – Morra Aarons-MeleYou'll hear about:Anxiety’s prevalence in the workplaceWhat to look for with anxietyThe biggest thought traps to look out forWhat has helped Morra in her dark moments?Working with someone struggling with mental healthTurning anxiety into a superpowerChannelling anxiety more effectivelyWhere does Morra find joy?David’s experience with mental healthAbout Morra Aarons-Mele:Morra Aarons-Mele is a global speaker, best-selling author, and entrepreneur.
