Beyond Small Talk: Life Transitions
Beyond Small Talk is an experience that supports meaningful conversations.
You'll be matched with others for a series of structured 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 August 6, we will discuss Life Transitions, and you will choose from questions like these:
What's a transition you've been through that changed you in an unexpected way?
Describe a difficult decision that ultimately helped you grow.
What helps you stay grounded during times of change?
What's a beginning or ending that changed the way you see yourself?
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.
