Processing for Reciprocity of Inquiry or Team Building De-Brief Questions

I love questions; asking them, answering them, writing about them, thinking about them, driving Christine (Wife)crazy with them. Whether you are a facilitator, coach, leader, person in the toilet-stall next to me – asking 2 to 3 questions beyond the point of where we agree
develops understanding of each other. Additionally asking questions
beyond the point of agreement creates a reciprocity of inquiry…and that
is FACILITATING AWESOMENESS!
