One “must” for this week
“What you don't know about questions” by Pia Lauritzen.
In this TED Talk, Pia Lauritzen explains the power of questions in connecting people and the world they share, but also separating them. She underscores the significance of asking the right questions, the balance in questioning, and the importance of shifting roles between the questioner and responder.
"Questioning and answering should be like a dance where we constantly shift position in order for us to connect with each other and the world we share."
