6 Secrets to Powerful Answers with Dr. Brian GlibkowskiDr. Brian Glibkowski is an author and researcher who is passionate about the role that both questions and answers play in life and business.His journey started with his research on questions. He authored an article on questions that has been recognized by the Association of Human Resource Development as one of ten articles that will shape the 21st century. One thing that really stuck out to Brian during his research, was the fact that we focus so heavily on questions, and not nearly enough on answers. We are all trying to formulate and ask the right questions, but we spend very little time thinking about powerful answers and how best to answer different questions. His new book is Answer Intelligence: Raise Your AQ. The book introduces a new science of answers that is nominated for a 2022 Prose award for professional and scholarly excellence. The book rights have been purchased for translation into multiple languages. The AQ framework has been adopted by universities, including the Imperial College of London BusinessSchool(globaltop20). CertifiedAQ Partners from the USA, UK, UAE, Australia, India, and elsewhere use AQ with forward thinking organizations around the world. - Connect with Brian here - https://www.raiseyouraq.com/glibkowski.html- Purchase your copy of his new book here - https://www.amazon.com/Answer-Intelligence-Raise-Your-Aq/dp/1839828730 ----Click here to Become a VIP supporter of Lead On Purpose: https://www.buzzsprout.com/1583287/supportIf you would like to help James continue to bring on world-class guests, please consider making a small recurring donation to cover the back end, admin and editing costs.
