It's About Them, Not You

Looking for the perfect thing to say at your next holiday party, office gathering, or neighborhood event? The answer may lie in the questions you ask of others. Questions that lead to meaningful conversations include: “What’s something you (or your organization) has done this year that makes you proud?” “What trends are you seeing in your industry?” “What do you see ahead for your company/industry/profession in 2025?” Or my personal favorite…. “That’s interesting. Could you tell me more?”
