onnect with the people in the room. We talked about the importance of paus=
ing during the presentation and asking a question to engage the audience.=
 With this small adjustment=2C speaking became more impactful=2C and the m=
essage connected.

One of the best ways to achieve engagement is by using open-ended question=
s=2C questions that encourage your colleagues to share ideas and opinions=
=2C and by carefully listening to what they say you will kindle mutual res=
pect.


** Here are some of my favorite opened-ended questions:
------------------------------------------------------------

What inspires you?

What is the most meaningful part of your job?

What do you value most in life?

Would you tell me more about ___?

What=E2=80=99s the most important priority for you with this?

Who benefits from your vision?

Try finding opportunities to ask questions and see how quickly you engage=
 people when you listen to what they have to say.
