The QBQ! Podcast
Looking to take your business to the next level, boost sales and productivity, or raise confident, capable kids? You’re in the right place. The secret? It’s the QBQ.
If you haven’t yet discovered the bestselling book QBQ! The Question Behind the Question, it’s time to check it out. This powerful concept is transforming how people lead, live, and grow—by focusing on one foundational principle: personal accountability.
In every episode, your hosts Kristin and John explore how taking ownership—at work, at home, and in life—can unlock real, lasting success. It’s not about blaming, complaining, or waiting. It’s about asking better questions and choosing responsibility.
Personal accountability—it’s really that simple.
The QBQ! Podcast
From Finger Pointing to Double Digit Growth
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
What does it take to move a team from finger-pointing to real results?
In this episode, I talk with Debbie Slocum, a longtime QBQ user and former HR leader at Husqvarna. She shares what it was like to be the “lone wolf” introducing QBQ to her team, and how things finally started to shift when the first follower stepped in.
That’s when it stopped being just one person pushing and started becoming a movement.
We talk about what actually makes accountability stick:
- why it takes more than a one-time training
- how repetition builds a shared language
- and what leaders must do to keep it alive
Debbie also shares how QBQ changed her beyond work—as a leader, a parent, and someone learning to let go of what she can’t control.
A simple reminder:
Better questions → better results.
