How to Ask Better Questions | Mike Vaughan | TEDxMileHigh

[@Voello]

I disagree with the last part. You shouldn't ask a kid "what great question did you ask today". You should ask them about the question they regret not asking. Not only will it make them think about what they have learned more deeply instead of recalling, but it could allow you to answer their question or help them do so.

[@chrismarklowitz1001]

Voello who said you cant so both. Id agree with you that it would be a better question ti ask what they regret not asking in the aspect that it is a probing question forcing them to think more. However i also think that what good questions did you ask is good to since it allows the kid to feel good about themselves asking questions and its a leading question that questions in general must be good since they are being desribed as good

[@ascendwithemily]

Beautiful insight thank u brother I will do this from now on. High consciousness yo . You just changed the world.. keep your eyes peeled on my channel for the shout out!

[@MegaRc1989]

Well isn’t that a bias you have - on the flip side - why do you regret not asking any questions?

[@userGGG702]

Then the kid re ask his/her parents " what great question did you ask today "? Shark loan parents " Where is my money?" Police Parents" where did you hide the stuff ?" Wal Mart Parents " " would you like to buy more ?

[@killeyyy1867]

That will make it specific to regret not demystifying the unknown.

"In an era where computers are getting better at answering questions, we need people who are capable of asking better questions." That's one very profound thought, and practically my only takeaway. 😁 Thank you for sharing! Though I was hoping that he'd delve deeper into "how" to ask great questions. Perhaps he'd rather let us think about that for ourselves, than to provide a pre-packaged step-by-step guide? :)

[@dylankeppler3542]

Don't know if you'll see this, but try looking up the "Socratic Method". It's used and adapted in many industries to aid in asking better questions, just how he's described.

I think you are correct in assuming he didn't want to give us a guide, for that would be tantamount to telling us how to think. If we can remain curious about all these things I think we will find it for ourselves. These perspectives leave me feeling excited and invigorated about how I can move forward on all aspects of my life. There is no limit!!!😊

I agree on the point that instead of asking child “ what have you learnt today”, it will be better to be rephrased as “ what great question have you asked today”. It is a great and inspiring way of education.

One of the best TED Talks ever! Making good questions is what really moves people and the world. It's not an easy process, and it can definitely hurt someone's beliefs. But where there is discomfort, there is growth.

[@Grace-fo2ns]

This reminds me of my government class last year. One has to form ones' own opinions, actively seek knowledge and understanding rather than rehashing what was said before or what the media pressures us to do intentionally and unintentionally. I'm find myself repeating what my parents say, without actually knowing why or if I truly agree or disagree. This is so helpful, bc I never ask good questions or even ask them in the first place. In college, I've learned the people that ask the questions and participate are more successful in learning. Broadening your way of thinking and learning is a must!

Grace is the best way possible that you could have a lot of time to get to know you better and I hope you have a wonderful day today and tomorrow but have a few things and it will not work I hope your not mad at me are familiar with it and I don't want to be a good friend of time to get to know you better than it and then you better

I have a ton of questions: - Why did I watch this video? - Is it because I was procrastinating, in part because I’m lazy or because I can’t focus in what I was studying? - Why so many people left mean comments? - Is it because they “don’t get it”? - And talking about that, I know I should not ask the following question as someone else can find the answer and get ahead of me: how can I take advantage of the ignorance of the ones that “don’t get it” to make money from the key concepts of this video? - What if the ones that ‘get it’ find my answer/program useful and take me in a path to success? - At what point should I stop asking questions?

Ask better questions Most training tells people what to think, we need to educate them on how to think. How to think is learning how to learn Top performers share the ability of asking good questions. They ask questions that desmistify the unknown. In an era where computers are getting better at answering questions we need to get better at asking those questions.

[@farizanroslan]

This video is more of motivating, inspiring and convincing the audience to change opinions/thoughts rather than explaining how to ask good questions. I need more of the details that we need to consider in order to ask good questions. However, these are my take-outs: 1. Use proper, or specific names, words, and jargons that resonates well with the person that you direct your questioning. 2. We can ask questions to inquire information and validate information. I should reduce validation inquiries, more on asking on things that I worry/don't know about. Strictly no-sarcastic-what-if questions, that is a waste of opportunity. 3. This is common sense.

Note this is for people whom still don't get it how to ask good questions based of this viceo: Well my fellow friend, to ask a good question you need to be courgeous enough to have a growth mindset instead of fixed mindset, which means you ought to ask brave enough questions that breaks your emotional, religious and mental barriers. a good question is a question that motivates the indvidual into CHANGE, and get out of his comfort zone, a question good enough to have answers and solutions and attend success rather than to avoid failure, blame, procrastinate, and run in circles. for exemple : - Imagine you have a goal to ashieve, so these are the good questions to ask : 1) Can I do it ? 2) Will I do it ? 3) Is it worth it ? these 3 questions will force your brain to think harder for solutions and motivates you to do it. but if you ask like : 1) Am I strong enough to do it ? 2) Am I forced to do it ? 3) When can I do it? the answer will always be a negative so you won't ashieve anything.

[@AKA_Kira]

I work in the IT field and I feel that the more abstract message relates to the question I ask everyday. What could I have improved? In the IT field and other fields we have QAs or quality assurance to make sure we are meeting expectations, but the message and reason we use the has become obscured by the question "what did I do wrong?" When you look at the lower scores for that feedback we need to be looking at the result as a stepping stone.

For sure, questions are a great way to solve things and also to approach a different perspective. The better the questions, the better the benefits.

Seems like he’s suggesting that we ask questions that volunteer personal bias for critique, and be prepared to at least temporarily suspend those biases when answers come back. He also suggests asking questions that have intentionally non derivative non pre-supposed answers.

I'm a UX Designer. So i interview a lot of people. My process is like this. - Define why you want to ask questions? What's the goal? - Then if you want a deep answer from them explaining every bit in details, avoid asking Yes / No questions. If not ask yes / no questions.

[@Scott94927]

The burden shouldn't be on the video, but on us. That's kind of his point, isn't it? What we wonder about, how we grapple, how we take info and investigate it is at the heart of our growth and development. It is not just the questions we ask others, but the ones we ask ourselves that help us access the unknown. Bummer for those who found nothing in this. I thought it was brilliant and am appreciative for it.

It is interesting... this TED Talk leaves me thinking about the differences between asking questions in academic and professional environments. Having returned to academia from working in a professional environment, my experience has been that posing thought-provoking questions happens more commonly in an academic environment. Yet, these same environments are also susceptible to thinking in common ways. This video is a great reminder of the importance of exploring and challenging our thinking. Good things can come from it, just as Mike describes.

It was a bit too abstract. I came to this video hoping for more concrete examples and tactics for question asking.

[@MrBroybros]

Essentially this. The title hints towards concrete descriptions and analysis of what a good question vs a poor question is, whereas the TED Talk is more so "We need to get better at this, here's abstractly what that would look like, and wouldn't it be cool if we were better at this?"

important distinction there between the paradigms of being taught what to think and how to think. pretty well immediately spotlights the weaknesses in most school systems, globally. not to mention in the age of the data rich environment, one can see how easily the student of "what" could become demoralized in the face of different perspectives, and just start making guesses. basically describes the facebook ecosystem.

Asking questions to get to the bottom of something at your job in today's environment is a fast way to get fired for "Insubordination". People also get offended when you ask questions.

[@ivit4248]

Great talk to remind how critical questions are. But how can we make good questions?

[@TheMystrafanx]

Exactly my point. I've been thinking about "what" and "how" for very long time now. The context in my situation is slightly different, but nevertheless we are talking about the very same thing. At some point in my life, I got tired of being critisized for this and that and by people who constantly used to tell me what to do without any reasonable justification. Then I started asking the same people "How should I do this/that?", "show me" etc.. the very same moment I realized that most people are not even remotely competent as they present themselves. The way I see it - if one can explain in simple words HOW something can be done in order to achieve an almost certain, expected result - then one knows what is talking about. If on the other hand the one fails to explain that, he/she is more likeliy giving an opinion or an educated guess. In my dictionary these three (knowledge/knowhow, educated guess, opinion) are completely different things. Sadly, I believe that even the educational system in the western world (there are exceptions of course) is based on that.

I get that this goes against the point as I am supposed to ask myself, but I wish he just told us how to ask good questions rather than what questions are good. Like how are we to ask questions that dig deep and reveal the core of beliefs? For politics if you ask questions "why" than they'd just get defensive and feel the need to justify rather than actually answer as they always see it as a "Got ya!" and usually just make it up based on what they have already heard rather than them actually answering what brought them to there beliefs. .. Actually is "What brought you to your belief" the question that should be asked rather than "Why" ? Probably not as it seems like the asker is full of themselves with the assumption that there belief is wrong, so how is why asked? I don't know the question to ask myself to get a good answer because after watching this I have not gotten any closer to learning how to ask good questions. Personally, I think this is pretty empty, It doesn't teach us how to ask good questions at all, it only says that good questions exist and are important.

Half of the art of asking a good question is being well calibrated to the setting and the group, which would fall under the EQ skillset family tree.

[@jaredawashburn]

It may be difficult to define what is a good question... but what I get from this is, that good questions are the ones that (as the speaker said) lead is to the focus on the UNKNOWN, rather than the known. In other words, asking questions that actually get us (and the others with us) to think beyond what the collective may already know... A good question might not be answered right away, and it might lead to MORE questions. But, at least we are now engaging our own curiosity and not relying solely on regurgitated information. Just my thought on it all.
