It seems one of the most common outcomes of communication is misunderstanding.  Being misunderstood happens more frequently then we perhaps are aware of and is a cost to businesses!

Traditional conversations tend to be defined by what we tell rather than what we ask.  Yet my coaching experience has taught me that what builds a relationship, what solves problems and what moves situations forward, is asking the right questions.

For an innovative approach to conversations, I propose a shift in our paradigm – to enhance our relationships lets adopt the ABE of Conversations; the WOW of Enquiry and the PEP Talk!
