How

01

Pick a setting: places with light, natural openings - library desk, workshop, public event queue.

02

Open with context: Use a shared moment/topic - “Have you taken this class before?” / “What brought you to this talk?”

03

Listen, then follow up once: Let them finish; ask one deeper question (“What do you like about it?” / “What surprised you?”). Close with a thanks and a one-line reflection to yourself on what you learned.

Easy Start

Today, ask one new person a context question (“Have you taken this class before?”) and jot one line on what you learned.

Why It Matters

New voices add fresh angles you don’t get in your usual circles - fuel for learning and better judgment.

Questions and Thoughts

  1. “Feels awkward.” → Use context-based openings; you’re talking about the moment, not the person.
  2. “I won’t know what to ask.” → Keep 2–3 ready: “What made you choose this?” “What’s one tip for a beginner?”
  3. “I’m introverted.” → Aim for one exchange a week: quality over length.

Care Notes

Choose public, comfortable settings; read cues and exit politely if someone isn’t keen. Be respectful across roles/ages; avoid personal questions.
