FAQs

Ask good, “open” questions.
This may seem obvious, but sometimes, we don't really know where to begin. Asking “open” questions invites people to share. In our family's dinner conversation, asking, “What was the best part of your day?” invites everyone to talk about what happened in their lives.
These three things were: What is the right time to begin something? Which people should he listen to? What is the most important thing for him to do? The king, therefore, sent messengers throughout his kingdom, promising a large sum of money to anyone who would answer these three questions.
