What if the questions you ask could presence transformation?
What if you could learn to easily ask those kind of questions?
How would that change your life?
When we were kids, we were full of questions. Now that we’re adults we are clogged with answers. It’s been said that if you want better answers, ask better questions. However, many don’t know how to do that or where to begin. This presentation is about
…beginning toward Mastery.”
