Join the Right Question Network

Our strategies and resources are the outcomes of decades of work. We continue to learn with practitioners across many fields to develop and simplify two robust processes,

  • The Question Formulation Technique, which helps all individuals learn how to formulate, work with, and use their own questions. Through learning how to ask their own questions everyone, students, parents, clients, and patients alike, can become more engaged, critical thinkers.
  • The Framework for Accountable Decision Making, which helps individuals, learn for themselves how to effectively participate in decisions that affect them. Through learning how to effectively participate in decision, the decision-making process becomes more democratic and all individuals are equipped with skills to advocate for themselves.

I think the idea that you can question the authority (and that you have a right to do so if you don’t understand something) is what I took away from your session.

[The Right Question Strategy] allows people who don’t usually speak up to find their own voice. They don’t have to depend on me or others to speak for them… they speak for themselves.

Why do you think we ask questions? So we can be curious about what we are learning and want to know more.

We can … empower clients not only in our consultations but also in the courtroom, where they often feel powerless. A lot of times clients don’t know they have the ability to ask questions — particularly in the courtroom. These skills will be valuable to give them a voice and to think about ways they can gather much-needed information.

— Legal Advocate, New York

I see that if I don’t vote, then other people are going to keep making decisions for me. This, at least, gives me a chance to have a say in who’s going to be making those decisions.
