About ASQ Better

When you ask questions, are they transcribed? Are they recorded? Does somebody else read or listen to them? Do you get paid to ask questions? If so, the quality of your questions matters. Like it or not, you will be judged by your questions. Would you like to have an edge?

Awesome, spontaneous questions--what we call ASQ--don’t just happen. The ability to ask those questions is a skill. And like any skill, it needs to be trained through deliberate practice. And then maintained over time. But how?

We designed ASQ Better to let you practice asking clear, open-ended questions in a private, non-judgmental setting.

We start with a simple premise: the best questions will be short and simple, and they will begin with only a few words: “who,” “what,” "when, "where, "why" or "how." With practice, you can train yourself to ask that kind of question spontaneously, by default.

Our demo lets you try it out for yourself. When you want to track your progress over an unlimited number of practice sessions, just sign up.

By the way, we think you will find that ASQ Better gives an unexpected bonus: it makes you more curious, and more engaging, in ordinary, everyday conversation. What’s not to like?
