Though you implied it, I think it's worth making obvious that the very best questions are those to which there are many right answers, or even better, no wrong answers. Great ideas, Olivia.

And what you say applies equally well to getting people to ask questions. I like to ask my audience questions. (I hope that I follow your guidelines when I do, although I need to work on framing my questions so they're immediately and easily understood.) And then I follow up -- if appropriate -- with, "And what questions do you have?" If I ask, "Do you have any questions?" they just sit there. (It's a yes/no question, which doesn't encourage engagement.) But by asking what questions they have, I let them know I presume they have some. It doesn't work all the time, but it usually gets people started. Olivia,
