  • サマリー

  • Assess how feeling career stuck is impacting you across ten areas of life - in 30 minutes. Then, decide what you want to do about it.

    -

    At some point in time, I can almost guarantee you that someone will ask you this small talk question - “How’s work?”

     This is one of my least favorite small-talk conversation openers. I just don't understand why people ask it. Maybe it's out of genuine curiosity, or perhaps an attempt to show that they care.

    But let's be honest, “How's work?”, its a lazy question. You don't need to remember the details of someone's job, their role, their company, or even actually care about the answer. And most people know this, which is why they usually respond with something short and unremarkable before steering the conversation elsewhere.

    The result? Missed opportunities for real human connection. If you truly care about the person you're talking to or want to create a meaningful, memorable moment, it's time to retire this question and instead, try something that sparks genuine interest and reflection.


    Instead, why not ask: “ What was the very best part of your career that you used to really enjoy doing?”
