Workplace icebreakers and trust-building games can be the worst.
But mental health expert Dr. John Delony wants to help you navigate
conversations and improve your relationships! That's why he developed
Questions for Humans. These conversation starters for the workplace will
help you put your phones down and actually connect (in a non-lame
way).
There are 52 cards in this deck, and the questions on them are fun,
thought provoking and, at times, a little bit ridiculous. Whether you've
worked together for a few days or a few years, they'll help you get to
know each other better.
Take turns picking a card, asking the question, and listening. Choose
honesty. Be kind. Laugh a lot. (And don't take yourselves too
seriously.)
What to expect when you play:
- You'll learn something unexpected.
- You'll have some laughs.
- You'll find it much, much easier to build trust.
- You'll spend meaningful (and fun) quality time together.
Here's a look at a few of the questions:
- What was your first job?
- If you could go back and study something different, what would it be?
- What was your first concert?
Sometimes you can be sitting right next to someone but still feel 1,000
miles apart. These conversation starters can change that! Spend an hour
on one question or go through five or six questions in one sitting. The
important part is to have some fun and connect.
