BrainPint - Writing With Confidence

Hi everyone,

This week we're diving into qualities of good questions, how ideas grow and learning to write with confidence.

Thanks for all the kind words about the guide to effective delegation I wrote. I haven't written long-form for a while so it's nice to see that it has been helpful for so many of you!

Cheers,
Janel

The Qualities Of Good Questions
What makes a good question? Here are some great thoughts:

• A good question question is not concerned with a correct answer.
• A good question cannot be answered immediately.
• A good question challenges existing answers.
• A good question creates new territory of thinking.
• A good question is one that generates many other good questions.

The decisions we make in our lives, such as the products we purchase, jobs we accept, and relationships we form, are all influenced by the stories we believe in. These stories or narratives shape our understanding of the world and guide our actions. To effectively communicate and persuade others, we need to understand the origins of narratives and they emerge and spread.
