329 - Listening is the Gateway to Asking Better Questions with Chedva Ludmir
When we stop looking for the perfect question, when we choose to reflect rather than react, and when we wait and listen, for just a little while longer – it can change everything.
Public speaker, serial entrepreneur and owner of Consider, Chedva Ludmir has made it her mission to help others embrace curiosity, listen deeply, and make friends with uncertainty.
Together, we explore the power of asking thoughtful questions in all of life’s moments – from time-restricted workshops, to orthodox religions, and scary career crossroads. And why when big decisions did loom, Chedva didn’t ask herself should I do this? but rather started to ask, when it’s time, will I know it?
Find out about:
- How to stay present and curious in conversations, without leaping into question-asking
- The importance and humility in asking gentle, gateway questions
- The tension between certainty and curiosity, and why it's okay not to know
- What it means to hold space for ourselves, and others, to discover truth
- The power of fictional characters or novels to explore sensitive topics or emotions
