Ask Open Ended Questions
"Open-ended questions are questions that require more than a simple yes or no answer. Open-ended questions allow people to elaborate and this creates conversation. They draw the person out making them become part of the conversation.
"Open-ended questions bring growth to a conversation as opposed to questions with yes or no answers that stunt the growth of conversation. They can avoid awkward periods of silence that usually follow a yes or no question as well.
"It is also worth remembering to use questions to focus on the positive and to use open-ended questions to encourage people to feel good. Here are some examples of questions I like to use: - What do you like most about living here? - What is it you love most about your son? - Who is your favorite movie star?
"All of these open-ended questions give the conversation a positive energy and an opening to an enthusiastic dialogue."
