概要

‘Does this make sense?’ - a simple 4 word sentence that some of my peers would suggest you should NEVER ask?

Why?

It’s suggested that asking this question can be either

  1. Condescending - suggesting your listener is too stupid to understand whatever it is you’re explaining; or

  2. Damaging your credibility - suggesting you’re questioning your communication effectiveness

I disagree, HARD, on both accounts.

I have been asking this question my entire facilitation and coaching career.

Listen in to hear:

  • Why I don’t think asking ‘does this make sense’ is either condescending or credibility damaging

  • Why I think it’s actually a useful question to ask to check for understanding before adding more info

  • How tonality, body language and even intention of the question has more to do with whether the query is condescending or

After listening, I’m genuinely curious … is this a blind spot of mine and do I sound condescending, or like I don’t know what I’m talking about?
