CONSTANCE VORK, FOUNDER, VORK REAL ESTATE GROUP

I think about questions all the time, but now I’m thinking more about where the questions place the recipient in their mind and how that shapes their responses. By asking questions carefully, I can get the most helpful answers.

TODD OLIN, STRATEGIC PLANNER, EMERSON

For the last exercise of the day Mike asked us to imagine our customer as a movie star. He asked us to role-play asking the star to reflect on each of their completed, current, and planned projects. This was my favorite exercise! It directly applies to my job and provided me with a chance to really practice all the concepts that we played with throughout the day.
