Great reminder on how to formulate a start up for a conversation. Instead of “how are you” or “how was your day” I ask “what was a joyful part of your day?” Or “are there things i can help you with today?” I think of the outcome first in the framing of the question but I hadn’t thought about zoom meetings and professional scenarios
Now I am.curious! Which of those questions was yours? Each started off a range of thinking.
I like where you are taking this discussion - for a different reason: our ability to phrase and frame questions will significantly change what AI/GPT returns to us.
And that is what happens ... the question is recveived in the eyes/brain/mindset of the receiver ... and sparks their own interest in the topic. You were the firestarter.
...appreciate the inspiration to work on deeper inquisitions in both formal and informal settings...we really can't have enough consciousness...thank you...
I'm so curious what question you asked and how you intended it to be asked! Questions are really hard to ask. I realized this when I was a journalist, having to come up with ~10 questions for each interview I do (and I do them multiple times a day). Not that I have the best ones, but I figured out a bit on how to get them to say the answers I was looking for. Often, sound-bitey quotes that make for interesting articles. This, of course, is completely different from open-ended questions that could happen in a café. That itself sounds like the perfect arena for a question-master like you :)
Hahaaa... Oh Rik. Would love to know how you'd formulate the question differently after this experience. And I apologize if I misrepresented your question :p
Ha ha, yes, my question is now, "What question did you ask?" And how would you refine it? Having a tangible example would help me put the excellent musings of this article in context. Tim Denning who is an extremely successful writer on Medium recently posted a note that said if you want to engage readers you should spend 70% of your time on the headline. Sounds similar to what you are saying about questions at the top of a conversation.
