You will learn about the Q-Storming® process by first participating and experiencing a full Q-Storming® session led by a master facilitator. You will experience all three vital phases of a successful Q-Storm which will then be covered more in-depth in the following sessions.
The success of your Q-Storm hinges on having the best possible goal and going through the protocol for unconcealing assumptions and facts. Many times the gold you are looking for comes in an effective Phase 1 and certainly the quality and quantity of the questions in Phase 2 is built on a great Phase 1. The exercises, practices and assignments in this session develop those skills so you can build a solid foundation.
Session 3 teaches you the key process of facilitating Phase 2, storming for questions to think with, Question Thinking™ questions. Learning how to facilitate getting to those breakthrough thinking questions and who you have to be for your success is key. Exercises and assignments build these muscles both for facilitating and developing your questioning and curiosity skills.
You’ll learn the various ways to capture the questions and assumptions and analyze, sort and act on what has been discovered. You will have opportunities to practice this protocol and get many questions answered on facilitating a basic effective team Q-Storm.

"I use Q-Storming® myself and have taught it to many others. They say it's a refreshing new approach, they get more ideas, and more innovative ideas than they normally do. It helps their teams feel more creative, collaborative and hopeful about tackling future problems."
"Q-Storming® and Q-Work™ techniques have saved my organization (5,000+ individuals) time and money, given us better solutions (e.g., systems), reduced risk, and improved employee engagement."
"My clients are finding exceptional value in using the Choice Map and Q-storming® to inspire proactive thinking during this crazy time. It helps them see "choice" and "options" in a time when it is easy to retract or make fear-based decisions."
