Online: Open-ended questions

I want to ask better questions.

Effective questioning is essential in communication. If you ask questions, you clarify what you want to focus on or what needs to be clarified. Questions also allow you to check if you have understood the other person correctly.

In this course, you will learn how to ask open-ended questions. Open-ended questions typically begin with who, what, where, when, and how. They provide the other person with the opportunity to express their opinion and often reveal deeper insights into their motivations, reasons, and emotions.
