As the CEO and Founder of Qvest and a Thinkers50 Radar Member Pia is on a mission to democratize the power of questions. Related ResourcesQuestions (Book): https://www.press.jhu.edu/books/title/23069/questions TEDx Talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/pia_lauritzen_what_you_don_t_know_about_questions Question Jam: www.questionjam.comForbes Column: forbes.com/sites/pialauritzen LinkedIn Learning: www.Linkedin.com/learning/pialauritzen Personal Website: pialauritzen.dk A transcript of this episode is here.   ","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/ObvFU3mjULf0SLmdYk3FTpcNNvu093uaetq4koxhXy4/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9zaG93/LzE5ODQ3LzE3MDE4/NzM1NTgtYXJ0d29y/ay5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
