- Sometimes simply asking a series of whys can lead to deeply insightful and honest conversations. - It's also a great way to facilitate a session and generate a problem-solving tree. Getting to the root underlying issue can be incredibly informative. --- I asked Rett why he wasn’t doing his homework. I know it sounds crazy, but asking why wasn’t something I frequently did, and if I did, I only asked once. This time, every time he gave me an answer, I asked why again. It was hard not to insert my opinions and dispute his facts, but after a bit, we got into a flow. Just like with the kids at Summit, the answer he gave to the first why and the answers he began to give after the fourth, fifth, and sixth whys were very different. The latter answers were much more insightful, honest, and, ultimately, useful. - Diane Tavenneer in [[Prepared]]
