info_outlineQuestions are how we change the world one conversation at a time. And sometimes, that means putting something in between two people that gives them permission to connect with each other.
In this episode, I interview Chad Littlefield, co-founder and chief experience officer at We and Me, Inc. an organization whose mission is to create conversations that matter. Forbes calls Chad a global expert on asking questions that build trust and connection in teams.
Chad developed "We! Connect" and "We! Engage" cards which act as a "conversation mid-wife" giving birth to new ideas. Sometimes the barrier between connection and separation is the smallest social risk and the cards assume that social risk for people.
It's amazing how learning just one or two small things about somebody creates connection and a sense of teamwork. It's a very simple but powerful concept for strategic planning retreats, conferences, and other groups both small and large.
Find out more about We! Connect and We! Engage cards on the We and Me website.
