What life advice would you offer to a newborn infant? Or yourself five years ago? How about last week? Yesterday?
When did you last cry…alone…in front of someone else?
What matters to you and why?
What holds you back from doing the things you really want to do?
What do you fear?
What are you proud of?

What is your next great adventure?
What’s one thing that could happen today that would make it great?
What inspires you?
What are the little things you stop to appreciate and enjoy?
What does home mean to you?
How do you show your love?
What makes a question “BIG TALK?”
Universal - Any human being could answer it. It doesn’t matter what external factors they are defined by.
Open ended - Elicits more than just a yes/no response. There is the opportunity to hear a story.
Meaningful - Skips the small talk. Through asking the question, you are able to delve beneath the surface.

Purpose of big talk questions is to find out their hot button. What is important to them in life and go into deeper conversation. Will help you in closing when you know what is important to them.
However, you must use bridging word before you transit to Big Questions.
Example of Bridging Words:
Btw
If you don’t mind me asking
I’m just curious
We have been friends so long but I’ve never ask this before.
You can even mix and match the above bridging words to form new bridging words like:
I’m just curious, we have been friends so long but I’ve never ask this before, If you don’t mind me asking…
