I agree that questioning is part of engagement, as opposed to sitting and keeping the lips zipped at all times. (And I know what you mean about wanting to be able to "peak in" on award discussions... I always feel that way about pretty much every committee! Makes the whole thing that much more enjoyable, wondering what went on in the discussion for book X, Y and Z.)Sam Bloomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12225131033978509934noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9160636034192691079.post-72364378884037070192015-12-28T13:48:16.323-05:002015-12-28T13:48:16.323-05:00Part of listening is asking hard questions too-- W...Part of listening is asking hard questions too-- What do you mean when you say?--- Tell me more about that? I'd like to understand what you are saying better. Can you explain? By questioning the speaker we show we are engaged, listening and learning. Just silence can be a way of avoiding a hard conversation.<br /><br />I wish I could be a mouse in the corner of the room listening to the discussion. I love that you are commenting here.
