My primary research focus is questions. I am fascinated by them – what they are, how we use them, why we ask them and how we can harness their power for good. My research focuses on the practice of questioning in everyday life and I am passionate about applying my expertise to help everyone make the most of asking great questions. I have a special interest in the way we use questions to learn and I argue that good questioning is a vital skill that should be taught in schools. I also investigate the role that questioning plays in social and political institutions, such as healthcare, law and the media, and work with business and industry to help employees, teams and leaders ask better questions.
