Questions for Humans: Workplace

Named among the "40 Best Gifts for Coworkers of 2024" by U.S. News & World Report!

Workplace icebreakers and trust-building games can be the worst.

But mental health expert Dr. John Delony wants to help you navigate conversations and improve your relationships! That's why he developed Questions for Humans. These conversation starters for the workplace will help you put your phones down and actually connect (in a non-lame way).

There are 52 cards in this deck, and the questions on them are fun, thought provoking and sometimes a little ridiculous. Whether you've worked together for a few days or a few years, they'll help you get to know each other better.

Take turns picking a card, asking the question, and listening. Choose honesty. Be kind. Laugh a lot. (And don't take yourselves too seriously.)

What to expect when you play:

• You'll learn something unexpected.

• You'll have some

• You'll find it much, much easier to build trust.

• You'll spend meaningful (and fun) quality time together.

Here's a look at a few of the questions:

• What was your first job?

• If you could go back and study something different, what would it be?

• What was your first concert?

Use them to break the ice before meetings, bring meaningful moments to staff celebrations, or just share a laugh with your coworkers at lunchtime. The important part is to have fun and connect.
