Lab #1:Questions that Connect Us
10/18 12-12:45 EST
Join Vy Dao of MIT’s Cortico, a sociologist whose work emphasizes the role of storytelling. Vy’s role as the Director of Learning and Practice brings her all over the world, conducting workshops with individuals interested in amplifying voices, connecting with others, learning in the world. By asking questions that allow people to open up and speak truthfully, we can start a frank discussion that leaves room for exploration and understanding.
Asking meaningful questions is a key facet of People Based Learning.
👉What sorts of questions build powerful connections? How can you elicit stories that bring both learning and people closer?
We have ALL been here! Thank you, Jane, for sharing your story, and for reading my story! And for reminding us all of this very normal stage of the process! Beautiful post!
