Asking meaningful questions, both of ourselves and others, can lead to personal growth and expanded perspectives. By embracing curiosity and being open to new possibilities, we can break free from limiting beliefs and explore the world with a sense of wonder. Asking questions helps us challenge assumptions, gain new insights, and navigate the complexities of life with greater clarity and understanding.

In this episode, Anya and Mark discuss the importance of asking meaningful questions along with the fear around them, and explore the significance of expanding one's perspective and embracing curiosity at work and in personal life.

Three prompts

1. How often do you stop to ask yourself a meaningful question?
2. What would you love to be asked - or to ask about?
3. How can you ask a better question?
