“I picked up this book expecting a toolkit of questions to spark learning. What I found instead was a deeper exploration of how questions—especially one powerful question—can drive transformation. The question ‘How Might We?’ stood out. Joe Lalley breaks it down: “ ‘How’ is about action. ‘Might’ is about experimentation and curiosity. ‘We’ fosters shared ownership.” It’s not just a question—it’s a mindset. If you’re looking for a fresh lens to tackle challenges, this book—and this question—might be the spark you need. So… how might you use ‘How Might We?’ to transform your work?”

Joe Lalley’s Question to Learn is a wonderful reminder that great leadership and great learning both start with curiosity. In a world that rewards quick answers and confident-sounding opinions, this book slows things down and shows how powerful it can be to simply ask better questions. Lalley explores how curiosity drives innovation, connection, and growth — whether you’re leading a team, facilitating a workshop, or just trying to think more clearly. He shares practical tools, reflection prompts, and real stories that make the ideas pretty easy to apply right away. What I loved most is how accessible Lalley's approach feels. It doesn’t preach or get overly academic — it invites you to practice being curious in everyday moments and to use questions as a way to learn, listen, and lead better. I enjoyed going through it slowly and trying the prompts on some real-life challenges.

Bottom line: this is a gem of a book for anyone who wants to think more deeply, collaborate more openly, and spark better conversations — at work or anywhere else.

• Description: Every company or team assumes they are curious, that their questions are a strength. In my experience, that assumption is often wrong. In many organizations, questions have become something else, something negative.
  
  The good news is that we all have the power to change that. It just means tapping into a skill we all had as kids—pure, unfiltered curiosity.
  
  Question to Learn is a mix of my life story, the stories of other professionals like me and examples of companies who have struggled and thrived with questions. My goal is to guide you through a journey from feeling stuck to unstuck, much like I would with clients in a workshop.
  
  If you’ve ever felt like you wanted to ask a question to learn but buried it below a layer of self-doubt or fear, this book will help you break that cycle. If you’ve ever been asked a question that was clearly not intended to learn, this book will help you create an environment where questions are used in their purest form—to learn. If you’ve ever been frustrated by endless meetings spent debating something that could be learned simply by asking, this book is for you.
