My husband and I recently came back from a trip with our dear friends, Jim and Robin. Jim came up with a great idea for dinner conversation so everyone would be included. Each night, someone picked a topic they were familiar with or had read about and it became the conversation at dinner. As there were several of us, it gave everyone at the table an opportunity to join the conversation and partake in thoughts, opinions and reflection.
This was a terrific idea as so many times when you have a group, several conversations can go on at once around the table and you don’t always get the benefit of getting to know and enjoy everyone present.
I’m not sure we resolved all the world problems, but the conversations were entertaining, interesting and thought provoking, and most importantly inclusive.
Try this the next time you have dinner with friends or clients. Pick a topic everyone can weigh in on and no one will feel like they can’t be part of the conversation!
Make it a great day!
