Launching May 2024: Multi Agency Questions That Make a Difference
Creating Change with Curiosity
"Any social worker in any field, not just child welfare, should take this course! I've done a lot of training on interview techniques and this is by far the most impactful. After two years, I continue to use these questions that make a difference every day. This week I used this questioning format in interviews, to lead a management team process trajectory, in a unit meeting and in a staff 1/1. Its practice changing stuff!"
Tina, Supervisor,
Meeker County, MN, USA
We're crazy-excited about questions and the power of asking good questions!
