Introduction

This week on Overwhelmed to Owning it we’re talking about that one thing that can elevate the innovation within your business. We’re looking at being solutions focused - asking better questions to get better answers. As leaders and business owners we spend a lot of our day asking others for information or questioning to find out more. Very few business owners and leaders consider questioning as a skill to be learned and honed.
