The people around us – our partners, teams, clients – are sitting on a gold mine of insights, feedback, and perspectives we too often leave untapped. Not because they won't share. Because we don't ask – or don't ask well. Asking well is a skill – and most of us have left it to chance.

In this episode of Get Superpowered, I sat down with Jeff Wetzler to unpack exactly what it takes to build it.

Jeff Wetzler spent 25 years unlocking human potential across corporations, schools, and NGOs – and kept seeing the same gap: people failing to learn vital things from those around them. ASK is the practical framework he built to close it.

In this conversation Jeff walks you through the ASK approach- the mindset you bring into the conversation, how to create the safety that makes people want to share, how to design the questions you ask, how to listen, and what you do with what you hear.

You will learn three practical ‘try-today’ moves:

1. Before your next conversation, locate yourself on the Arc of Curiosity.

Notice where you are. Decide where you want to be. Move one click.

2. Replace one 'crummy' question this week.

Find your version of ‘are we aligned?’ – the question that closes things down rather than opens them up – and redesign it.

3. In your next conversation paraphrase what you heard – then add 'Did I get that right?'

The paraphrase shows you listened. The check shows you cared enough to get it right.

The gold mine of insights, feedback, and perspectives is already there. Asking well is how you access it.
