Question to the Room
Whether it’s a large group of strangers, a first date, or family you see once a year, good questions lead to good connections. Small talk is a strange art form, and it takes practice to stay fluent. This manual is a collection of the questions I’ve written over the years to replace the dreaded “fun fact.”
If you could use a bright spot in the monotony of your endless video calls, contact me for a copy (paige.depaepe@gmail.com). Each First Edition of Question to the Room comes in a unique color way, a playful addition to any desk or coffee table.
