Communication

What makes you punch the coffeemaker in the morning?

Inc. magazine says these are the 5 most interesting questions to ask to spark great conversations:

1. What’s your story?

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

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

4. What absolutely excites you right now?

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

I’d throw in a few more:

-What is making you angriest right now?

-Who do you blame most for this outfit you chose to wear today?

-What makes you punch the coffeemaker when you wake up in the morning?

-Who is your most embarrassing relative?

-Your neighbor wants to borrow your mower but he hasn’t returned your trimmer, hedger, or your wife. What do you say?
