Exercise: Enhancing Your Questioning Skills

To practice this mindset shift, try this exercise to refine your questioning skills.

  1. Track Your Questions: Throughout the day, write down the questions you ask, whether to others, yourself, or an AI system.

  2. Go One Step Deeper: For each question, identify how you could push it further. What’s the natural follow-up? How could you clarify or expand the question to draw out richer insights?

  3. Apply to AI: The next time you engage with an AI tool, start with a basic question. Then, using your notes, intentionally refine your prompts based on its responses. Observe how different questions lead to vastly different answers.

This practice will help you develop a prompting skillset that turns AI into a powerful collaborator, enhancing your ability to work creatively, strategically, and effectively.
