The art of asking better questions

In this episode, Lucy is joined by Dave Reynolds, founder of Ruminate Group and author of Radicle Growth: Transform into an Unstoppable Leader Through Mastering the Art of Questions. Dave shares his journey from sales leadership to global coaching, and why he believes the key to exceptional leadership lies in asking better, deeper questions. Drawing on the concept of “radicle” growth—the unseen but essential root stage of development—he encourages leaders to invest in meaningful conversations rather than chasing quick fixes.

They discuss the difference between mentoring and coaching, and why coaching creates greater ownership, accountability and long-term results. Dave explains how silence, often uncomfortable for leaders, can be a powerful tool to help people think for themselves and reach more thoughtful conclusions. He also highlights how surface-level conversations can limit real connection and performance.

Finally, Lucy and Dave explore the role HR can play in building coaching cultures. From helping leaders ask the right questions to observing how they run meetings, HR has a vital part to play in encouraging more thoughtful, human leadership.
