I would much rather you check in in a different way, in a varied way. So for example, imagine somebody asks you a question, you answer the question, you could say, did I answer your question? Can I tell you more to help clarify? What more can I provide you to help you understand? Lots of different ways to accomplish that same goal. versus just asking, does that make sense?

The other thing with does that make sense is it really puts the person on the spot. It's very hard to tell somebody who is an expert or in a position of power, no, that didn't make sense. So if you give them an opportunity to connect with you or to ask differently, simply saying, do you have a follow-up question, is much easier for somebody to respond to than does that make sense.

You know, there's another pet peeve I have that I'm going to, just because this is therapeutic for me, happens at the beginning of Q&A. Whenever people ask questions, so many of us go, oh, good question, good question, good question. Not every question is a good question. And I think what we're doing when we say good question is good, I know the answer.

If you want to reward questions, reward the ones that are truly inspirational or insightful. And you can say that. But rewarding every question, again, loses the value. And the problem is this, Charles, is you'll have four questions. I say good question, good question, good question. The fourth question really is the good question. And you're so taken aback by it, you don't say good question.

when you should have, and the person feels bad. So I have pet peeves on both ends of Q&A. There's the good question and the does that make sense piece. Again, both have laudable intent, but we're just executing poorly.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. But you see, that's the martial arts right there. I cannot tell you the number of times my instructor, my sensei, who I've had for decades, will tell me, you did that wrong the right way. Und du sitzt da und denkst dir, was? Aber in Wahrheit, es bedeutet, dass der Bewegung falsch war, aber der Intent war richtig.

Und in der Martial-Arts-Intent und Fokus ist es so wichtig, dass die Bewegungen fast immaterial werden. Und das Gleiche kann auch in unserer Kommunikation wahr sein.
