It's hard to know, right?

I do share this intuition that men tend to do things with each other more than they talk with each other.

Perhaps.

I just don't know how true it actually is.

So shrinking your world a little bit so that you're having more one-on-one conversations, that's where you can actually get deep and have a meaningful conversation with somebody.

And also giving yourself the time to do it is another one, right?

So making the space where I go for a walk with my colleagues, you know, we take a half hour, just two of us walk around campus a little bit.

That does it.

The other big thing, and this is where you really have

power to do this is ask about it don't ask you know how are you feeling and not really mean it ask how are you feeling these days how are you feeling about this this seems like it could be hard did this seem hard to you this seems like this could be a wonderful experience was this feeling great for you ask people about their hopes and dreams or where they see themselves in 15 to 20 years ask them about stuff that matters ask people about who they love right or what they love

That's a great way to get deep very quickly.

And you can choose to do that.

So in our work, what I'm constantly interested in is trying to understand where we have power to create meaningful connection that we're not using.

And I think the place where this really happens a lot, where you could make your life better, is choosing to take some of these opportunities by asking people meaningful things in conversation.

If you are spending too much time in small talk, who's responsible for that?

Who can change that?

You can.

How do you do that?

Ask meaningful stuff.

Offer up meaningful stuff, right?
