It seems counterintuitive, but sometimes asking a question is the WORST way to gather information!
As we’ve been talking about in the last couple episodes, posing questions can often backfire. Our friends and partners may feel defensive or attacked! Even the most loving questions may impede intimacy, rather than enhance it.
Elliott’s clients have started making statements instead of asking questions. They’re enjoying increased intimacy and decreased conflict!
While we were speaking today, I kept thinking about how I perhaps ask questions when I could make authentic statements, instead.
So we decided to launch an, “Ask Not Challenge.” Over the next few weeks, we’ll make more statements and ask fewer questions. We invite you to join us in this challenge. Let us know how it goes!
We’ll share more about this challenge in this week’s newsletter. If you haven’t signed up, please do so here: https://www.loveandlifemedia.com/
