Beyond Small Talk: Creativity
Beyond Small Talk is an experience that supports meaningful conversations.
You'll be matched with others for a series of conversations in pairs or trios, supported by a customized web app.
Each conversation will begin with a question or prompt, selected based on the event topic and your preferences.
On July 29, we will discuss Creativity, and you will choose from questions like these:
What’s a creative outlet that brings you joy?
When do you feel most alive and yourself when being creative?
Describe a time when you took a creative risk. What did you learn?
What conditions help your best ideas emerge?
What's one small creative experiment you'd like to try in the next month?
Does navigating group conversations make you nervous? (If so, I hear you!)
The structure of the event promotes active listening best practices. Instead of competing to tell the next story, you and your conversation partners will be guided through time-boxed sharing, listening, and reflecting. This structure helps everyone feel heard before moving into discussion.
