A great ice-breaker question can shift an interaction from surface-level small talk to vulneragrous exploration. It can instantly set the tone for a different kind of relationship between people and within groups.

Here are a few of my favorites - reply with a few of yours:

🔥 what’s on fire in your life right now?

🖌 if your life is a story and at this point you're in chapter two, when did you go from chapter one to chapter two (or in other words, what‘s been the most significant moment of change in your life thus far)?

📗 what would the title of your autobiography be?

❤️ if all of your romantic partner’s personality traits / attributes were going into a bag and you could only guarantee that they’d get three of them back, which three would you choose?

🎅🏼 what is something that you learned much later in life than most people?

🍱 what’s your death-row last meal (pick a main dish, two sides, a drink, and a dessert)?

👧🏼 what’s a story from your childhood that, looking back, predicted what you do for a living today?

⏳ if you had only one month to live, how would you spend it?

🚚 if you could win a lifetime supply of any one thing, what would you choose?

💪🏽 what is a big strength of yours that can also sometimes be a weakness?

✨ if you woke up tomorrow and your life had magically leveled up, how would you know? what would be different?

💀 the zombie apolcolypse is coming - who are the three people you’d want on your team?

🙂 where are you, what are you doing, and who are you with when you’re most content?
