This document discusses the importance and power of asking questions. It notes that children ask many questions from ages 4 but that questioning declines as they get older due to pressures from parents, teachers, bosses, and lack of time. It argues that focusing narrowly can prevent seeing other perspectives. The document advocates asking more and better questions to prevent disasters, gain clarity and shape the future. It provides examples of how assumptions can have painful consequences if wrong. Techniques like the "5 Whys" and "How Might We" questions are presented as ways to challenge existing ways of thinking and find new solutions. The overall message is that regularly questioning perceptions and seeking different perspectives can lead to better outcomes.
Think about this: When you make a statement, you will not know whether the intended audience received it or not. Whereas when you ask a question and the audience respond, you are sure it has reached – it’s a closed loop system.
More importantly when you make a statement, it belongs to you; it does not belong to the listener. On the contrary, when you ask a question and the other person responds, that response belong to him/her. Asking question is a very powerful way of building ownership in the other person.
Questions are a powerful leadership tool through which one can master more then 20 soft skills.

Sales resistance is one of the causes of defeat for new sales hands. However, understanding the concept and how to handle the objections can turn a reluctant even adamant resistor into your best sales partner.
What doesn't kill you makes you stronger!
A presentation on the constructive ways for giving and receiving feedback—adapted from: "Developing Leadership Skills", by Alfred Darmanin
Are sales objections stopping you in your tracks?
Fielding unexpected objections can be one of the most daunting aspects of sales, especially for a new hire or someone new to selling entirely. The best way to deal with this fear and uncertainty is to face the problem head-on and go into meetings and cold-calls prepared to field a wide range of objections. If you start listing out the potential objections you could hear from a prospect, it might seem like the options are endless. How are you supposed to prepare for everything?
Lucky for you, sales objections actually cluster into a few main groups based on your prospect’s underlying beliefs. Once you master handling one objection in a category, you’ll be able to respond easily and effectively to any number of variations on that theme. Keep reading for 5 steps to handle sales objections.

Closing: A Natural Step in the Sales ProcessBob Hafer
If you don’t ask for the order, you won’t make the sale
That statement is one of the basic truths of the sales profession. Because when you ask for the order you provide the momentum for a client to say yes. Though you may feel closing a sale is a magic moment, in reality, closing is simply following closing principles and then asking for a decision when you feel certain the prospective buyer is going to say yes. This fast-paced seminar teaches you how to ask for the order.

Tips on PowerPoint, planning, and delivery
“Death by PowerPoint” is a cliché phrase because it is usually true. Used poorly, PowerPoint can kill the sale.
You don’t want to be THAT person, do you?
Whether you are an entrepreneur approaching investors, a small business owner explaining your product or service, or a sales professional, you can harness the power of PowerPoint for large or small scale presentations.
Used effectively, PowerPoint can educate buyers and focus prospects on decision-critical factors.
Creating a great PowerPoint presentation is easier than you might think. You don’t need to be a great designer to come up with an engaging presentation. What you do need however, is an understanding of how to capture and direct your prospect’s focus.
In her presentation, you will learn how to structure an audience-centered, logical and persuasive flow. You will discover 4 easy design principles and some simple tips and tricks. You will also learn how you can scale your presentation down from a group presentation to a one-on-one presentation or even share it online.

Storytelling isn’t just for children! Strategic storytelling in sales, or “storyselling” is a proven way to build trust, boost-buy in and maximize memory to get your message remembered and repeated.
Would you like your message to be remembered and repeated? Would you like to build trust and gain buy-in from all your audiences, from clients to team members to stakeholders? Would you like to feel confident that your presentations engage your listeners?
You can do all that and more with strategic storytelling. Strategic storytelling is nothing new. Scheherazade, the ancient storyteller of 1001 Arabian Nights, beguiled a king and saved her own life and the lives of countless others by telling stories. In our own times, Steve Jobs was a legendary storyteller, who engaged the imaginations of millions with his strategic, engaging storytelling skills—and helped his company make billions of dollars and build a brand mystique while he did it.

The case study discusses the potential of drone delivery and the challenges that need to be addressed before it becomes widespread.
Key takeaways:
Drone delivery is in its early stages: Amazon's trial in the UK demonstrates the potential for faster deliveries, but it's still limited by regulations and technology.
Regulations are a major hurdle: Safety concerns around drone collisions with airplanes and people have led to restrictions on flight height and location.
Other challenges exist: Who will use drone delivery the most? Is it cost-effective compared to traditional delivery trucks?
Discussion questions:
Managerial challenges: Integrating drones requires planning for new infrastructure, training staff, and navigating regulations. There are also marketing and recruitment considerations specific to this technology.
External forces vary by country: Regulations, consumer acceptance, and infrastructure all differ between countries.
Demographics matter: Younger generations might be more receptive to drone delivery, while older populations might have concerns.
Stakeholders for Amazon: Customers, regulators, aviation authorities, and competitors are all stakeholders. Regulators likely hold the greatest influence as they determine the feasibility of drone delivery.
Artificial intelligence (AI) offers new opportunities to radically reinvent the way we do business. This study explores how CEOs and top decision makers around the world are responding to the transformative potential of AI.
