What's your story?              This open-ended question is bound to trigger something interesting after the       other person gets over the initial shock that you asked it. By opening up a       conversation in this manner, you?ve given them access to speak from their       hearts and share their life's journeys, dreams, and goals.               2. What makes you smile when you get up in the morning?              A great question that gets the interaction hopping on a positive note from the       get-go. Watch the other person's wheels turn as they reflect on something for       which they're excited or deeply grateful.               3. What is that one book that has influenced you the most?              The brilliance behind this question is not the question itself, but the       invitation for follow-up questions because of the book's impact on that       person's life, marriage, career, or business. Asking it deepens the       conversation (and the connection) as you learn more about how the topic has       positively altered that person's life in some way. If they're not avid       readers, ask about movies or famous people.               4. What absolutely excites you right now?              This question triggers passion. Who doesn't like to speak from their most       passionate space? It may end up being their thriving career, a new job, or an       exciting new phase of their business. It could be personal: the arrival of a       new baby, having beaten cancer or finding true love. Whatever it is, think of       all the places the conversation will lead, and the possibilities of connecting       the dots with the other person when it's your turn to shine.               5. What's the most important thing I should know about you?              In line with all the others, this question will elicit emotions to deepen the       conversation and find connecting points. That's what you're after - creating       space to discover what makes the other person tick, unique, or maybe       frustrated so you can offer encouragement or make a difference in his or her       life.              Finally, did you notice a pattern? It should be obvious. Here's a hint: You       take the initiative and make the conversation about the other person. People       love to talk about themselves. This selfless act of putting the spotlight on       someone else makes you the most interesting person in the room.              Ciao!        /|ug (https://t.me/aabolins)              --- Want fido for iOS/MacOS/Android/Win/Linux?
