Do you find yourself in more conversations during the quarantine? Have you felt like you have run out of things to say?
You might relish the extra conversations you have, especially online. Others of us might find it challenging to have conversations online. It can feel like we run out of things to say.
The quarantine has brought us an opportunity to spend extra time with people. You have more conversations with the people you live with, including – spouses, kids, and parents. It also means more conversations virtually – ZOOM meetings with teammates, Google Hangouts with family, FaceTime with high school or college friends, and connecting with your small group.
Whether online or in-person, I wanted to provide you with a few conversation starter questions, aka icebreaker questions. These questions can become helpful to put people at ease. Sometimes we need questions to change the subject. Other times these questions become a way to understand what is happening during this season.
