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.
