It's Time to Talk to Each Other

You now know WHY we need to communicate more human-to-human. Now let's learn HOW.  ​

Now let's set the scene. 

You've just entered your local coffee shop. Alone, you head towards your table. As you look up, there in front of you drinking coffee at a neighboring table is a Fellow Human accompanied by a Visitor Companion. You want to connect, but your heart begins to race.

First thing, take a breath and approach slowly.

They are as afraid of you as you are of them. But, the one thing you both have in common is that you want to connect and communicate face-to-face. So that should help you feel more at ease.

As you get closer and as soon as eye contact is made, you must complete this one very important step and that is...to smile. 

​From there, you both immediately engage in a mutual greeting with a "Hello There, Human".

Wha-la! Connection is officially ignited.

There you are sitting face-to-face with a Fellow Human, now what?
Well, below you will find two links that will help guide you through this conversational journey. The first link is a "Conversation Guide" which will give you in-depth directions on how to become a Motivational Listener with the goal of making others feel valued and acknowledging what they share, thus quickly building rapport.

What do we talk about?
The second link is a collection of "Conversation Starters" which can
 be extremely useful. Here you'll find lots and lots of QUESTIONS.  Of course, not everyone wants to bare their soul at first, so you can pick the comfort level of question as well.  

This is a collection of unique and engaging questions to mix and match as you please. 
So keep in mind, if you both are on board with the Hello There Human mission of connecting more then these peculiar questions won't feel so awkward asking and plus, they will add a bit more fun and interest to the conversation. A simple way to create a meaningful interaction.

If you want to make the conversation even more engaging and really start connecting, play the "Hello There Human" game. It's a fun, easy and quick way to really get to know someone.
