		<description><![CDATA[‘Ask, Not Tell’ – I wrote before in this blog such advocate is essential in presentation, training, facilitation and coaching.   I was in a negotiation class yesterday.   It highlights that by research skilled negotiators tend to ask 3 times more questions than average negotiators!   In negotiation, questioning can:
