Hi All...

5 Questions the Most Interesting People Will Always Ask in Conversations

..according to Marcel Schwantes.

1. What's your story?

This open-ended question is bound to trigger something interesting after the
other person gets over the initial shock that you asked it. By opening up a
conversation in this manner, you?ve given them access to speak from their
hearts and share their life's journeys, dreams, and goals. 

2. What makes you smile when you get up in the morning?

A great question that gets the interaction hopping on a positive note from the
get-go. Watch the other person's wheels turn as they reflect on something for
which they're excited or deeply grateful. 

3. What is that one book that has influenced you the most?

The brilliance behind this question is not the question itself, but the
invitation for follow-up questions because of the book's impact on that
person's life, marriage, career, or business. Asking it deepens the
conversation (and the connection) as you learn more about how the topic has
positively altered that person's life in some way. If they're not avid
readers, ask about movies or famous people. 

4. What absolutely excites you right now?

This question triggers passion. Who doesn't like to speak from their most
passionate space? It may end up being their thriving career, a new job, or an
exciting new phase of their business. It could be personal: the arrival of a
new baby, having beaten cancer or finding true love. Whatever it is, think of
all the places the conversation will lead, and the possibilities of connecting
the dots with the other person when it's your turn to shine. 

5. What's the most important thing I should know about you?

In line with all the others, this question will elicit emotions to deepen the
conversation and find connecting points. That's what you're after  - creating
space to discover what makes the other person tick, unique, or maybe
frustrated so you can offer encouragement or make a difference in his or her
life.

Finally, did you notice a pattern? It should be obvious. Here's a hint: You
take the initiative and make the conversation about the other person. People
love to talk about themselves. This selfless act of putting the spotlight on
someone else makes you the most interesting person in the room.

Ciao!
