People are interesting when you become interested

What if everyone was interesting? Fascinating even…

Genuine interest, a few skilled questions, and a willingness to listen are the only tools needed to transform this ‘what if’ into a ‘what is’.

Just beyond the common differentiators of gender, generation, and race…vistas of commonalities, connections, and coincidences are waiting to be uncovered and explored.

Test it out. Dedicate 5-minutes to inviting a colleague, friend, or neighbor to thoughtfully reflect on one of these questions:

  • Tell me about a person who has had a major impact on your life.

  • If you could go back 10 years and give yourself some advice, what would it be?

  • When people speak of you and you’re not around, what do you want them to say?

  • Tell me about a life challenge you’ve faced. How did you overcome it?

  • What adventure or goal are you still hoping to embark on or accomplish one day?

People are interesting when you become interested.

What topics intrigue you?
