Use metrics to decide when a risky, pressurized, costly decision needs to be made. Preparing for an interview? This pocket-sized think-it-through guide will help you get behind a person's smile and resume. Use these questions to re-focus your life or maximize your time. Bobb Biehl's book (originally published as Asking to Win) fits into your purse or suit coat pocket but contains over 100 profound questions. They'll help stimulate and focus conversations with those coming to you for help to negotiate life's challenges. Biehl provides ten challenging coaching questions in each of ten key areas, along with life-planning tools and principles for asking, planning and deciding at crucial moments in life.

Asking Profound Questions covers topics like how to ask life-changing personal questions instead of wasting the moment on small talk, brainstorming, making great decisions under pressure, strategic planning, interviewing potential hires, refocusing your life, even parenting. Bobb Biehl is a master of the art of asking, and this pocket-sized booklet ( 3 1/2" x 6 1/2". 30 pp) puts that mastery with you wherever you go.
