In a world of constant hustle and bustle, we often do not find time to stop and reflect. If you read my blog post from last week,Asking for a Friend, you are familiar with my 5 minute question quickfire. This week I was able to stop and reflect on the variety of questions I asked and how the varied questions can be sorted based on three different perspectives. Watch my sketchnote style video below to see my brainstorming process!
At first I was overwhelmed when sorting the questions relating to Berger’s What If? How? and Why? questions because I only had one Why question. The What If is about imagining , the How is about doing, and the Why stage has to do with seeing and understanding (Berger, 2014). As I reflect, it is clear that many of my questions were How related because they relate to doing...How can I do better? Or What can I do better?
However, seeing one Why question made me reflect on the fact that I need to be active in asking questions even without seeing or understanding. Berger (2014), states that being comfortable with not knowing is the first part of being able to question. Due to this experience and Berger’s book, A More Beautiful Question, I now realize that I need to be more comfortable asking why questions in contexts of not knowing or understanding such as my professional workplace or in life. Although it can seem overwhelming and there are endless possibilities of sorting the questions, I gained a better understanding of analyzing questions. I was also able to reflect on the context of questions and understand that not all questions fall under one topic, but they can relate to multiple perspectives within my professional practice.
