Always Asq
Hands-on trainings in technology, security and data — and coaching that starts with the right questions. Whether those questions are Simple, Strategic, Systematic, Sovereign, Sharp, Salient or any of the many other meanings the S in Asq can have. Asking and answering questions is how you learn and grow.
Always Asq was started to enable the creation of new training materials for providing training to professionals. The training sessions are usually on ICT topics and new technology. Over the last 5+ years Always Asq has hosted over 250 multi-day training sessions for our partners.
In the past 40+ years I have noticed that people sometimes do not ask needed questions. This lack of asking then led to issues later on. Through Always Asq coaching and ‘Asking on Demand’ I want to help others ask the questions that sometimes are not, but should be asked.
Facilitate training for smaller and larger groups. Either within a formal organisation or a community.
Coach people on how to handle (new) technology and relate to others with more or less knowledge.
Assist in asking relevant questions. Either in preparation for meetings or in those meetings.
Short consultancy opportunities to help with Data, IT, Technology or Cyber project or program – short term.
The S in ASQ can mean many things. Here are 30+ of them — grouped by what we do.
S stands for the skills and structure that make great training.
S stands for the human qualities that make coaching work.
S stands for the nature of questions that cut through complexity.
S stands for the approach that makes project work effective.
I can facilitate an existing training for your team, adapt one for your organisation, or create a new training from scratch.
