Have you ever wanted to ask for a raise, find out why something happened, or frame a question to encourage collaboration? We've all heard there is a "right way to ask a question." Chances are, if you were faced with any of these three questions, you've struggled to get the answers you want or need. Brian Gibkowski, our guest today, has a new book called Answer Intelligence: Raise Your AQ (IQ). The most interesting thing I learned was how often we ask lazy questions that aren't aimed at getting the right answer. His work helps you develop the skills to get the answers you need to make the best decisions. We talk about: How to answer questions during a job interview.How to ask questions and increase the chances of getting the "true" facts rather than the safe answers.

How do you raise your Answer Intelligence?Dr. Brian Glibkowski is the pioneer of Answer Intelligence (AQ)™, an approach that takes a scientific and critical examination of answers in business and life. AQ is a new science of answers that identifies six answer types that leaders can use to increase their influence which he discusses in his book, Answer Intelligence: Raise Your AQ. At the most fundamental level of AQ is realizing that questions and answers are two sides of the same coin. If you want to ask better questions, you have to know the answers you're looking for. In this episode, Brian shares how the 5 High AQ practices elevate the conversation to foster co-creation, intentionality, and forward-thinking. Asking intentionally crafted questions also means not imposing any bias, acknowledging what the other person is saying, and confirming if you clearly understood what they mean. These 5 answer types can be visually illustrated similar to the human body. Your upper body is the “why” question which can best be answered by either a theory or a story. The core is the “what” question which can be answered by either a concept or a metaphor. Lastly, the “how” questions can be answered by either procedure or action answers. Listen to this episode to know how you can strike a balance between asking better questions and providing the right answers in adaptive leadership.References:Website: https://www.raiseyouraq.com/Linkedin: https://www.linkedin.com/in/glibkowski/Support the showJoin us in our mission at The Leadership Project and learn more about our organization here. https://linktr.ee/mickspiersYou can purchase a copy of the Mick Spiers bestselling book "You're a Leader, Now What?" as an eBook or paperback at Amazon https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09ZBKK8XV
279 The Art of Conversation Understanding what we can offer and what is needed in each situation is paramount to our success as individuals. While it is always great to connect and share our stories with others, we need to learn how to answer every question posed to us by either finding someone to teach us how or to learn what answer isn't resonating with our audience and learning how to communicate more effectively with those around us. In this episode Sarah Elkins and Brian Glibkowski discuss the importance of conversation in all its forms and how we utilize our strengths and tools in order to communicate with others in a way that is constructive, fulfilling, and progressive to our growth and goals. Highlights We're all on our own personal quests. Procedure is just as important as storytelling, it's the context that defines which is needed. Honoring the questions others ask and offering details when needed. Quotes “I was focusing on questions but I wasn't focusing on the answers they wanted and needed.” “It took me a while to realize you need to ask and answer all of the questions and usually for important conversations you need balance and look at what people care about.” “Even though we may have our strengths and preferences, to navigate the world effectively we have to be able to ask and answer all the questions.” Dear Listeners it is now your turn, How are you answering the questions that people are asking you? Are you considering all the ways that they are taking in your answers? Because if you're not, that's kind of the opposite of active listening. And, as always, thank you for listening. About Brian (from his LinkedIn) Dr. Glibkowski is the pioneer of Answer Intelligence (AQ)™, an approach that takes a scientific and critical examination of answers in business and life.

About Sarah "Uncovering the right stories for the right audiences so executives, leaders, public speakers, and job seekers can clearly and actively demonstrate their character, values, and vision." In my work with coaching clients, I guide people to improve their communication using storytelling as the foundation of our work together. What I've realized over years of coaching and podcasting is that the majority of people don't realize the impact of the stories they share - on their internal messages, and on the people they're sharing them with. My work with leaders and people who aspire to be leaders follows a similar path to the interviews on my podcast, uncovering pivotal moments in their lives and learning how to share them to connect more authentically with others, to make their presentations and speaking more engaging, to reveal patterns that have kept them stuck or moved them forward, and to improve their relationships at work and at home. The audiobook, Your Stories Don't Define You, How You Tell Them Will is now available! Included with your purchase are two bonus tracks, songs recorded by Sarah's band, Spare Change, in her living room in Montana.

Improve Your Communication Skills by Raising Your AQ with Dr. Brian Glibkowski Hi everyone, it's Jenn DeWall. Welcome to this week's episode of the Leadership Habit Podcast. We are going to be talking all about your AQ, which is your answer intelligence. And to have that conversation, I sat down with Brian Glibkowski, the founder, […] The post Improve Your Communication Skills by Raising Your AQ (Answer Intelligence) with Dr. Brian Glibkowski appeared first on Crestcom International.
One of the most recurrent challenges for organizations is about creating a culture of learning - unfortunately the way we learn in corporates hasn't changed much in the last years - unpractical, not inspiring and not inline with the agility of business. The change on the way organisations develop a culture of continuous learning has become urgent - it is time to explore alternatives to design rituals empowering people to learn. About my guest Dr. Brian Glibkowski Dr. Brian Glibkowski is an author, researcher and futurist passionate about the role of questions and answers . Think about it - in business and society - it is encouraged to learn how to formulate great questions and not often we get to learn a process on how to answer. In his book Answer Intelligence: Raise Your AQ. Dr Brian introduces a new science of answers. The AQ framework has been adopted by universities, including the Imperial College of London Business School. Brian Glibkowski PhD is Associate Professor of Management at North Central College in Illinois, USA and CEO of Semplar Science Corp. His research focuses on the role of questions and answers in business and society. What we discuss in this episode on inspiring a continuous learning organization Billions of dollars are spent on trainings in corporations - the sad thing is that the traditional way of training adults has not changed much. What are the flaws of the current learning model? We have seen an increase of leaders that have been trained on mentoring and coaching approaches - which is often associated with knowing how to ask questions - from your famous TED talk, you mention that there is imbalance of questions vs answers. Why is that important? AQ seems to me like of mental process (a meta-skill) that leaders can use to teach, communicate and motivate their teams - How does it work? I am a fan of micro-habits - creating small routines to acquire skills - What could be some good routines to start practicing the AQ model Part of your research includes a way to assess AQ - can you really measure if someone is progressing in acquiring this skill? When a corporation invest on teaching AQ in their organization what type of outcomes can we expect - business, organizational and human This episode is hosted by Ivan Palomino - expert on Behavioral Sciences applied to Culture Transformation and Learning.

"Lead with answers that create questions in your buyer", says Dr Brian Glibkowski, creator of Answer Intelligence (AQ)™. We are often taught that "our credibility comes from the questions we ask, not the information that we give" and to a point that is true. Ask great, thought provoking, insightful questions and you clearly demonstrate your competence and credibility. But do we really pay anywhere near enough attention on the answers you give? In the same way that you are unlikely to ever hear an original objection or be asked an original question, ALL of these communication moments can be planned, prepared and rehearsed until they are a natural part of every salesperson's and manager's repertoire. individuals overemphasise on questions and minimise importance of answers Brian continues, "Sellers have no typology of answers. We have the 6WH typology for questions but we don't pay critical attention and focus on becoming better at providing answers. There is often a mismatch between their questions and our answers resulting in disconnected conversation, a lack of listening and the quality of answers is shallow." You can't sell shallow and sell deep at the same time. The lack of intentionality is projected out from sellers to buyers, who reflect back the high self-orientation of sellers who too often aren't present because they are listening for a gap to speak or ask their next manipulative, self-serving question.

In this episode, Jerome and Julienne are talking with the creator of Answer Intelligence (AQ)™, Dr. Brian Glibkowski.When Dr. Glibkowski wanted to know what skills he could improve when he was a doctoral student, the answer was "communication."

They say that anyone can answer a question but it takes smarts to ask the right question. And while it is true, questions and answers cannot be seen in siloes. They are always connected for obvious reasons. But more importantly, it is not just a question that needs smarts, but also an answer that needs intelligence. While a long-winded response is not a preferred answer, a concisely given incorrect answer is equally useless. So, what is Answer Intelligence (AQ), and how to develop it?

Sales leaders are equipped with scripts, guides, playbooks and are trained to ask penetrating discovery questions. How often are these same professionals taught and coached on how to provide appropriate answers; answers that build rapport, trust, and ultimately generate a higher percentage of wins?Dr. Brian Glibkowski joins the program to share from his research and training on how leaders can influence decisions by learning a framework of answer types. Brian is a University Professor, TED Talk speaker, the CEO of Semplar Science, and the author of the book: Answer Intelligence: Raise your AQ. He believes that “Questions are for curiosity and answers are for influence", which is why he developed the Answer Intelligence (Answer AQ) model. This framework is designed to complement a similar framework of questions into answer types. These 6 answer types include: Story, Metaphor, Theory, Concept, Procedure and Action. He also speaks to the 5 high AQ practices that every professional should know, and they include: Provide 6 answers, Answer twice, Provide compliments, Answer with style and Answer in context. Identify the key questions, before and during a conversation, and then communicate the right answers. There really is a big difference between providing a good answer and providing a great, dare we say the right answer. Intelligence AQ helps professionals communicate their value proposition and build greater trust with prospects and clients. He challenges professionals to be the best in their field by understanding that AQ is a skill that can be improved upon. He calls leaders to become students of their craft and of their organization's story.To learn more about Dr. Brian Glibkowski and his work, visit www.raiseyouraq.com .
