Hey everyone,
I’ve been thinking a lot lately about how we create those instant, meaningful connections with people—whether it’s at a conference, a volunteer event, or even just chatting with someone new at a coffee shop. It’s like quantum entanglement, right? Two particles instantly linked, no matter the distance. So, what’s your go-to “entanglement move” to spark that kind of connection?
For me, it’s all about asking unexpected questions. Instead of the usual “What do you do?” I might ask something like, “What’s the most fascinating thing you’ve learned recently?” or “If you could solve one global problem tomorrow, what would it be?” It’s amazing how quickly people light up when they feel like they’re being seen beyond the surface.
Another trick I’ve picked up is sharing a quirky fact or story related to their interests. If someone mentions they’re into tech, I might bring up something wild about quantum computing, like how qubits can exist in multiple states at once—it’s a great icebreaker and often leads to deeper conversations.
What about you? Do you have a favorite way to create that instant bond? Maybe it’s finding common ground through shared experiences, or perhaps it’s listening intently and reflecting back what they’ve said in a way that shows you’re truly engaged. I’d love to hear your thoughts!
