Yeah.

Well, I mean, it's interesting you say there's research out there saying the best conversations have a mix of this.

I've got a slightly different point of view.

The best conversations are the ones that are actually helpful to the person who you're having the conversation with.

So ask them how you can be most helpful because it will depend.

Like there's sometimes where people will come to you and they're like, they do not want a coaching question.

They just want you to tell them where you put the tea bags because they can't find the tea bags.

So they're like, where are the tea bags?

What's the real challenge here?

Yeah.

Exactly.

How do you feel about tea?

Stop with the coaching questions.

Just tell me where the tea bags are.

And there are other times where they're like, they just want you to, they don't even want you to ask a question.

They just want you to say, man, that sounds like it's hard.

Man, I can see why you're struggling with that.

Wow, I'm so impressed that you're able to sit with this and try and figure this out.

There's not even any questioning involved.
