How To Meet The Queen: Ask Good Questions - Get Good Answers

Doctors on average spare only eighteen seconds to diagnose a patient, which results in misdiagnosis one in every six times because both doctor and patient ask the wrong questions or no questions at all. Identity theft victims readily yield passwords without questioning. Even the routine job interview process is broken – filled with tired predictable questions that surface textbook answers. How To Meet The Queen attacks our questioning deficit by gleaning principles from the professionals who are paid to ask good questions. This eminent cast includes headline interviewers like CNN’s Larry King, 60 Minutes’ Mike Wallace, Harvard Medical School Professor Dr. Jerome Groopman, and even high-profile former criminal Frank Abagnale (subject of the Hollywood film Catch Me If You Can). These principles are applied to real life - personal health, the job interview, crime prevention, the art of selling, choosing a vacation, launching a startup business, and more. And as the title suggests, the author recounts chapter-by-chapter how close he came to meeting Queen Elizabeth II armed only with these principles! Endorsement from Dr. Sean Wise, Professor of Entrepreneurship, Ryerson University, and the first online host of CBC's hit reality TV show, Dragons' Den : "Lee illustrates that knowing the right questions to ask is as important as finding the correct answers. How to meet the Queen is a strong introduction to the role that inquiry plays in customer and strategic development in business". Endorsement from Liz Scott, former BBC Reporter , Founder, Liz Scott Coaching and Training: " Albert Lee's book is a great read … [the] first thing that struck me was his engaging and energetic style. He is incredibly knowledgeable on the art of asking questions. I loved the way that his voice came across loud and clear. He wasn't regurgitating the work of others; he spoke with clarity and expertise on the subject … [this] is a great book for people wishing to develop their skills of communication. It is also incredibly helpful for those wishing to develop their coaching skills. Although not directed specifically at a coaching audience it covers many areas that would support coaches on their journey. The 'APT' principles that Albert Lee explores (Attitude – Preparation – Technique) are useful reminders about being persuasive with our communication. As a coaching skills trainer it has also given me fresh ideas on how to express and teach students about certain aspects of questioning. Overall this book gets a big thumbs up for me. An engaging, interesting read told with humour and clarity." Used Book in Good Condition
