In conversations, it is recommended to use what are known as “powerful questions.” Powerful questions are those that encourage the other person to reflect and learn.
These are questions that:
- Stimulate reflection and increase awareness of the current situation or the path the young person wishes to take to achieve their goals.
- Empower the individual to find solutions on their own.
- Foster learning.
- Inspire new thoughts.
- Encourage new responses and possibilities.
- Generate energy and interest in exploring further.
- Lead to action.
- Stay with the individual long after the conversation.
- Spark additional questions.
