Welcome to another beautiful week. When an idea sparks that I think is worth sharing, it becomes this weekly newsletter. If something hits home, write back. I love conversations. This is Weekly Spark #16.
Hey friend,
This week, I’ve been sitting with a reminder that feels almost too simple: Answers inform. Questions transform.
This originated from my conversation with Chad Littlefield on the IgnitedNeurons Podcast. He and I dissected the art of asking powerful questions. An episode you must watch! 🙂
We often rush to give advice, find solutions, or fix problems.
But the truth is, what unlocks growth isn’t always the answer.
It’s the question. Questions are transformative.
For Individuals
Think of the last time you were stuck.
You probably didn’t need someone to hand you a solution because you do not enjoy advice. Instead, you need someone to ask the right question.
Questions like:
What do you really want?
What’s holding you back?
If you weren’t afraid, what would you do?
A powerful question doesn’t give you clarity—it draws it out from within you.
In my role as a coach, all I do is ask questions, and the clarity emerges.
For Teams
In teams, questions reveal hidden assumptions and surface new ideas.
Too often, we fall into a rhythm of updates and answers.
But what if meetings became more about curiosity?
Questions like:
What are we not saying that needs to be said?
What assumptions are we making?
What would this look like if it were easy?
These questions can shift a team from polite agreement to true innovation.
For Organisations
Organisations grow when leaders ask—not tell.
When they hold space for inquiry rather than jumping to certainty.
The best strategies are not born from “What do we know?”
They’re born from “What are we willing to explore?”
A culture of questioning keeps companies adaptive, resilient, and human.
Final Spark
So here’s my invitation for you this week: Instead of rushing to an answer, pause. Ask a better question.
Because questions reveal truths that answers often hide.
With curiosity,
Utkarsh (Coach | Question-Asker | Believer in Curiosity over Certainty)
