How to Ask Better Questions | Mike Vaughan | TEDxMileHigh?

Imagine you're trying to find your favorite toy, but instead of asking clearly, you just shout "I want something!", that's like not asking a good question.

Mike Vaughan talks about how to ask better questions, and it’s like learning how to find your toy faster. Instead of shouting, you could say, “Where is my red ball?” That gives more clues, so it’s easier to find!

Think of asking a question like giving someone a map, the clearer the map, the easier the journey. If you say "I want something," that's like giving a map with just one color and no roads. But if you say, “I want a red ball,” it’s like having a detailed map with roads and landmarks!

Good questions are like good clues, they help you solve problems faster. You can start by asking yourself: What do I know? and What don’t I know?

For example, if you're trying to find your toy and it's not in your room, you might ask, “Is my red ball in the hallway?” That’s a better question than just saying “I want something!”

So, next time you’re looking for your favorite toy, or solving any problem, try asking better questions. You’ll get there faster!
