The year of 2017 is the year of questions: questions for the new president, for the country, for ourselves as citizens of a changing planet. Questions help us break down barriers, discover secrets, solve puzzles, and imagine new ways of doing things. But few of us know how to question in a methodical way.

In Ask More: The Power of Questions to Open Doors, Uncover Solutions and Spark Change, Sesno, an Emmy Award-winning journalist and Director of George Washington University’s School of Media and Public Affairs, shares the value of asking the right kinds of questions, and what you can expect as an outcome.

From questions that cement relationships, to those that help us plan for the future, each chapter in Ask More explores a different type of inquiry. Sesno asserts that incisive questioning, coupled with active and targeted listening, can drive mission and business, leadership and learning, family relationships and citizenship. Asking thoughtful questions can help people get a better job, become keener problem-solvers, and convey commitment, conviction, and empathy.

Sesno is well known for his work as an anchor, White House Correspondent, and talk show host on CNN. He continues to engage with some of the world’s leading personalities as a nationally renowned moderator and through the Conversation Series at The George Washington University. In conversation with Chuck Todd, moderator of “Meet the Press” and the Political Director for NBC News. Book signing to follow.
