Online Event: Ask Better, Lead Smarter: How Intent-Based Questioning Transforms Workplace Conversations

Every question carries intent but not every question achieves its purpose. In this practical session, leadership and workplace coach Dr Ganga introduces the Question Intent Matrix, a simple but powerful framework to help leaders recognise the real purpose behind questions - whether to understand, guide, challenge, or influence. Participants will learn how to ask better questions that uncover insights, reduce conflict, and drive action. Participants can expect to leave with a clear tool to improve communication and decision-making immediately.
