Asking Questions with Answers You Don’t Want to Hear

There are no stupid questions, but there are certainly some bad ones. Whether it’s in the course of reporting a story, profiling a subject, negotiating for more money, or organizing your colleagues, what do you do when another question—”Do I really want to know?”—is getting in the way? Join writer, editor, and labour organizer Haley Mlotek for a comprehensive overview of tips, tactics, and techniques for asking hard questions. Her seminar includes guest expert interviewers and organizers, all with their own unique perspectives on how to get the most out of every conversation. You’ll learn how to work with the answers you get and get the answers you need.
