Podcast: 3 Things I Stole for You

In fast-moving conversations, burnout often shows up not because people don’t care, but because they stop asking the right questions. In this episode of The Communicators, Ben shares how purposeful, well-timed questions can slow things down, uncover what’s really driving concern, and steer conversations toward clarity instead of conflict.

You’ll hear how a single question has helped him shift perspective, reduce tension, and guide conversations back to what actually matters, without escalating stress or misunderstanding.

What you'll learn:

How intentional questions can interrupt assumptions and help people pause long enough to think clearly.
The difference between asking questions to confirm your own beliefs versus asking to truly understand someone else.
Practical ways leaders can use questions to calm tension, clarify intent, and guide conversations toward more productive outcomes.
