Master the art of shifting power
Power comes in many forms and can be a weapon or a tool. Great questioning allows you to gain power when necessary and empower others to do the same, resulting in a strong and balanced power dynamic.
Effective communication is integral to success
Healthy power dynamics unlock communication. Teams thrive with open communication, employees can provide honest feedback, and managers and leaders can make fair and well-informed decisions.

Why does power matter?
Toxic power dynamics ruin relationships and undermine success. Getting them right improves everything from employee welfare and retention to customer success and sales.
What does better questioning have to do with power?
People think of answering questions as a form of power. In fact the person asking questions usually has the power. Better questioning is key to using this power responsibly.
How can you use your power?
We teach you to harness the power of questioning with research-backed techniques and practices to help you achieve strong and balanced power dynamics.
How can you empower others?
We show you how to empower others through better questioning. Disrupt entrenched power dynamics simply by reversing the expected roles of questioner and answerer.

What We Do

We help you achieve healthy and effective power dynamics using our unique, research-backed framework, The Questioning Strengths Method (QSM). The QSM draws on theoretical and practical expertise in the art and science of questioning. We use this to help you harness the power of questions and empower others to do the same.

At the heart of the QSM are the nine questioning strengths. These represent nine different approaches to questioning, based on a validated self-assessment tool: the Questioning Strengths Assessment (QSA). Using this unique research-based approach, we train participants to understand and use their questioning strengths, with powerful results.

Our work with you includes:

  • A personalised questioning strengths profile for every participant.
  • Training in proven techniques and practices for better questioning.
  • First-hand experience of the effects of better questioning on power dynamics.
  • Resources to help you practice and apply your questioning skills, beyond your time with us.

Because the QSM is based on practical expertise and academic research, we can work with anyone across diverse sectors and in different organisational roles to help individuals or teams achieve balanced and healthy power dynamics.
