The Art of Asking Powerful Questions

The “Art of Asking Powerful Questions” card deck was created because many organizations struggle to provide a framework for their teams, making it challenging to lead meetings effectively. This card deck consists of over 60 cards, each containing one or more questions, designed to ensure that we are asking the right questions to spark conversations and empower progress. It’s beneficial for facilitators and anyone leading a meeting.

There is a free digital version available in Nova.

Why is this important? Good questions can help:

• Generate curiosity in the listener.
• Stimulate reflective conversation.
• Are thought-provoking.
• Surface underlying assumptions.
• Invite creativity and new possibilities.
• Generate energy.
• Channel attention and focus inquiry.
• Touch deep meaning.
• Evoke more questions.

These are the type of questions you will find inside this deck: 

Ideation or Brainstorming Phase: At this early stage where new ideas are welcome, consider the following questions:

• On a scale of one to ten, with ten indicating a great idea aligning with our current goals and constraints, how would you rate this idea?
• How can we improve it? If you could wish for anything, what would it be? Use the framework: “I wish …”. Please add your wishes on sticky notes.

Evaluation Session: For meetings aiming to evaluate a proposal, idea, concept, or strategy to mitigate risks, consider questions such as:

• Are there any risks or considerations? Are there specific limitations or constraints to keep in mind during the review?
• Are there any unspoken fears, concerns, or worries that, if left unaddressed, could become significant issues later on?

Here is an overview of the digital version-available at Nova.

If you prefer the physical version, you can request it, but I don’t do this for a living, so I will print a few copies when I get a few requests, or if you need a few of them.

I print them on demand, usually in groups to reduce costs. To make a request, please provide your information, including the quantity you want and your location. This will allow me to calculate shipping fees. The process is manual, as I do this to provide assistance.

Includes: 60 cards
