Good Questions Drive Careers

A Leadership Beyond

“Good questions inform, great questions transform” -Ken Coleman

Asking the right questions, with clear intention is fundamental to personal transformation. This episode’s guest, Heather H. Bennett, brings over two decades of experience as a marketing strategist to life in her excellent book: Fun and Fulfilling Careers One Question at a Time

Heather’s brilliance is to help us discover our personal brand. Rather than tell us, Heather helps draw the answers from our depths through insightful questions!

Regardless of where you are in your career, it is valuable to keep asking in case we need to realign to ensure our career is a bright reflection of our values and core strength. The better this alignment, the more fulfilling and impactful our career will be.

A few highlights from our conversation:

• Keep your eye on the highest mountain top AND keep your feet on the ground.
• Leaders grappling with the great resignation should actively support career development of their talent.
• Revisiting these career questions periodically is a good way to help prioritization. The job demands can overwhelm the career need.

A Leadership Beyond exists to support the alignment between the business strategy and people strategy - to drive results with people not at the expense of people (Talent Optimization).

Subscribe to our podcast to join the Leadership Beyond Community of Conversation and hear insights from thought leaders and human development experts leading the way in the field of Talent Optimization.
