43: How To Ask Questions That Build Trust and Connection in Teams, with Chad Littlefield

"I can't teach you any trick, any layer, or any tip about "Start questions with these words", et cetera, unless I share the fact that the outcome of your questions -- the responses to your questions -- are laid in the foundation of intention." - Chad Littlefield

What if the key to building stronger connections with the people we work with started with asking powerful questions? Today's inspiring expert guest on Finding Brave has made it his life mission to "gently eradicate small talk" in the hopes that it will bring us all closer to what really matters to us all.

Chad Littlefield is the co-founder of We!™ and creator of We! Connect Cards, a tool to spark conversations that matter in 50+ countries around the world. He has spoken at TED, and most recently he and his partner Will Wise launched their new book, Ask Powerful Questions: Create Conversations that Matter, now a #1 Amazon Bestseller.

As you'll hear, it all starts with gaining a deeper awareness of our intentions, as well as a genuine curiosity and touch of bravery to get to truly know the people around us. It just takes ones step on our part, but even a tiny act can have profound effects.

And you'll explore with us the idea that small talk can keep us from forging the true bonds we're longing for, but our efforts at making connection can backfire if we're not more careful and conscious.
