The princess feels low on energy and asks the wizard for advice. The wizard activates and engages her by asking the right questions. Her energy returns, and she is as radiant as a sun.
''Once upon a time, there was an inspiring man who was able to ask engaging questions.''
The notion of engagement
When we are engaged or allow ourselves to be engaged or engage in something or in each other, our contact, commitment and sense of ownership grow. Our emotional involvement and mutual connectedness grow. Our relationship grows deeper and stronger. That is true in one-on-one relationships as well as in groups.
The ability to ask engaging questions that enhance our contact with ourselves, each other and the topic at hand is a powerful development tool that activates our resources and fuels our creativity. It enables us to create lasting change by asking questions and initiate processes rooted ain our body/emotions rather than in reason.
