From Pitching to Planting 🌱
Ideas don’t grow because we shout at them — they grow because we plant the right questions and water them together.
Swap monologues for curiosity, and watch engagement sprout.
- Invite co-creation: questions create ownership.
- Surface realities: learn constraints early, save rework later.
- Build trust: humility beats “I’ve solved everything” energy.
🍂 Why Asking Works (and Feels Refreshing)
Buy-in: People back what they helped build.
Trust: Questions signal respect and openness.
Blind spots: Friendly questions = free discovery.
Good questions turn “my idea” into “our plan.” That’s the alchemy.

🧰 Build a Powerful Opening Question

Tip: Keep it open, short, and grounded in their reality (“What’s the hardest part about…?” beats “Don’t you think we should…?”).
