As part of Bowling Green State University’s Common Read, author Warren Berger will speak at the University Oct. 26.
Berger, a journalist and innovation expert, will talk about one of the most powerful forces for igniting change in business and in daily lives – questioning. Questioning can help people identify and solve problems, come up with game-changing ideas and pursue fresh opportunities.
Berger’s presentation begins at 7:30 p.m. Oct. 26 in the Lenhart Grand Ballroom of the Bowen-Thompson Student Union; doors open at 7 p.m. Berger will answer questions and sign books following his presentation, which is free and open to the public.
Berger’s book, “A More Beautiful Question: The Power of Inquiry to Spark Breakthrough Ideas,” expands on the University’s Common Experience theme of “In the Spirit of Innovation.” He believes that questioning leads to innovation, can help people be more successful in their careers and can spark change in business and personal lives.
To reach this conclusion, Berger has studied hundreds of the world’s leading innovators, designers, education leaders, creative thinkers and red-hot startups to analyze how they ask game-changing questions, solve problems and create new possibilities. In his book, he shows that the most creative, successful people tend to be expert questioners, raising questions no one else is asking – and finding the answers everyone else is seeking.
Berger currently writes for Fast Company and Harvard Business Review; he was a longtime contributor at Wired magazine and The New York Times.
