What we know must first be in our minds
We know nothing that is not already in our heads, or engrained in some part of our bodies. Everything we offer comes from somewhere within us.
This point has interesting consequences during questioning. Challenging questions allow people the opportunity to explore that which they do not know.
Some folks shy away from the opportunity. Some jump right in.
Here’s the rub: the better, higher level questions help us learn. In the act of answering and calling upon what we know we help ourselves learn and solidify what we know.
Permitting smart, high level questioning offers us all great learning opportunities. Its like the class room in our own heads.
