Ep. 163: How to Ask High-Velocity Questions Dec 06, 2020

Show notes

Here's the survey I mentioned at the top of the show. It will take fewer than 2 minutes. Ty!

Today's episode aims to help you ask better questions.

Those questions lead to better conversations.

You do not need to yearn to start a podcast to see tremendous value in having damn good conversations.

Great conversations help us connect. They helps us lead our teams. They help us earn more money.

One of my favorite types of questions is what I have named high-velocity questions.

That idea was shared this week on a newsletter reaching 25,000 people. Check this out.

This technique will help make your conversations 1% better.

Keep me posted.

As always, thanks for listening!

I'm here if you need me Joe@onepercentbetterproject.com

Ep. 162: 1% Better 25 Years Later w/ John Knebels Nov 29, 2020

Show notes

Today's conversation is with my High School English Teacher and Coach, John Knebels.

25 years after we last spoke, I called Mr. Knebels and hit record. He agreed and today I share with you a time capsule.

Who was your favorite teacher?

Who was a formative mentor in your life?

I invite you to think back to who you were 25 years ago. Who were you when you were in High School? Who took the time to invest in you? How can you be that person for someone else?

I hope this conversation brings a smile to your face.

Ep. 157: The Art of the Follow-Up Question Oct 25, 2020

Show notes

This week I take you inside a conversation.

My hope is that something I share today will make your conversations 1% better tomorrow.

Will this exact system work for everyone? I don't know.

What I do know is that it has worked for me for over 200 recorded conversations, and I use the exact same process in my everyday life.

Perhaps you will want to jot notes down the first time you try it. Great.

The key is shifting your mind to what is possible in a conversation.

I hope I convey that here.

If you want to dive deeper into this process, email me at Joe@onepercentbetterproject.com

I would love to talk to you about how this can help you bring out the best in others.

As always, thanks for listening!
