Question of the week | August 5, 2009
Ask "It sounds as if there might be a statement behind your question; do you want to raise another issue?"
This
question asks session participants about unclear messages or possible
self-deception. Questions of this sort should constitute a gentle challenge
to support disclosure; they should not intimidate or irritate participants.
See Making Questions Work,
Chapter 2, “Core Facilitation Values”, p 46.
