First of all, it helps people feel like it's not just a blob, it's a group of individuals.
But second of all, in all group life, when things get hard, when there's conflict, as there inevitably is in all groups, and you know something about somebody, right?
Like they went to the same concert I went to, or they went to a Tony Braxton concert.
How bad can they be?
I'm going to pick up the phone and call them.
whether you're in a group of friends, whether you're running a team meeting, whether you're like at an airport and a layover and you're stuck for 12 hours and you like are done with your phone.
This is like, it's a muscle to begin to be able to help people meaningfully connect,
And then have a jumping off point for all types of other conversations.
As in all of life, read the room.
Yeah.
There are some places where like in some cultures or contexts or friend groups or like the group chat, it's like, y'all, I heard about this, you know, amazing thing called magical questions.
Are you game?
Like, yes, tell me.
In other places, if anything that feels formal or like an icebreaker, people are deeply allergic to it.
And so it's really deeply reading the room, but it's like it's knowing in your back pocket that you have the skills.
And it's a skill anyone can learn, anyone can practice, to begin to ask.
It's really asking, what is this group interested in?
What are the individuals interested in?
And at some level, it's a deeply generous thing to know how to do.
What is interesting within each of these people that you might be able to tap into, unlock, and help them share with the room?
