“How’s work?” “Busy.”
Another conversation ends before anything interesting begins.
Sometimes we ask questions just to fill the silence. Sometimes we settle for a generic answer. Sometimes we assume we already know the people closest to us and stop wondering about their lives.
In this Ultamize Discover episode, you’ll get a practical sample from The Wandering Habit.
This episode includes:
Ask Questions That Open People Up Learn three simple upgrades: ask open questions, make them specific, and follow up on the answer. Discover how replacing “Did you enjoy the trip?” with “What surprised you about it?” gives a conversation somewhere interesting to go.
Turn Ordinary Moments Into Learning Opportunities Explore how to practise curiosity at gatherings, in waiting rooms, during meetings, and around the family table. Learn to uncover unfamiliar perspectives in situations you already encounter every week.
Capture the Questions You Usually Forget Turn a passing moment of curiosity into a question you can revisit. Build a personal list of things you actually want to learn and use spare moments to explore them with purpose.
