Demonstrate empathy in your questions from "summary" of Perguntas Poderosas by Andrew Sobel,Jerold Panas,Savannah Hartmann
When you ask questions, it's not just about gathering information. It's about connecting with the other person on a deeper level. One way to do this is by showing empathy in your questions. Empathy means putting yourself in the other person's shoes, understanding their feelings, and showing that you care. When you demonstrate empathy in your questions, you show that you are truly interested in the other person and their perspective.
Empathy can be demonstrated in many ways. It can be in the tone of your voice, the words you choose, or the way you listen. When you ask a question with empathy, you show that you are willing to listen without judgment, that you value the other person's feelings, and that you are open to understanding their point of view.
Empathy in your questions can also help build trust and rapport with the other person. When you show that you care about their thoughts and feelings, they are more likely to open up to you and share more openly. This can lead to deeper, more meaningful conversations and help strengthen your relationship with the other person.
Showing empathy in your questions is not always easy. It requires you to be present, to truly listen, and to be willing to be vulnerable. But the rewards are worth it. When you show empathy in your questions, you create a safe and supportive environment for the other person to share and be heard.
So next time you ask a question, think about how you can demonstrate empathy. How can you show that you care about the other person's feelings and perspective? How can you listen with an open heart and mind? By practicing empathy in your questions, you can deepen your connections with others and create more meaningful conversations.
