Stop asking, “How’s it going?”
Stop asking people, “How’s it going?”
You’ll get predictable answers and life continues on auto-pilot.
If you want to generate new insights and opportunities, ask people these questions instead:
1) What’s your mantra for today?
This gets people to put a theme to their day and leads to what’s really on their mind.
And framing it as a mantra points the conversation toward resilience and finding solutions.
2) What made you laugh today?
This one is fun.
We all see things, even little, things that make us giggle to ourselves.
This creates the space for fun, playful conversation. And when people are feeling free and playful, that’s when serendipity really kicks in.
3) What pleasantly surprised you today?
This blends lightheartedness and meaningfulness.
It also reveals and reframes rigid thinking patterns in a fun way.
4) A specific question related to something you know they care about.
Something like, “How’d your son do in his game?” or “What have you learned in that painting class lately?”
I get it. With some of these, the fear of being ‘too weird’ might come up for you.
But being a little eccentric is infinitely better than sleepwalking through life, complaining about the weather, and gossiping about celebrities.
