What’s the one question you can ask different people again and again and works every single time? When meeting someone new, ask “So what’s your story?” This question is very open ended and allow the person you’re talking to, to guide you to the story they most want to talk about. When meeting a group of people, ask “So how do you all know each other?” They’ll always have something interesting to share. And to connect with people you already know, ask “What exciting things are you looking to do this weekend?” The answer is endlessly renewable, so this never grows old. These 3 questions allow you to spot the best angle of conversation to continue, on which you could further say “Tell me more about it” or ask open-ended questions that best starts with “What, Why, and How.”
