Location: Sandringham Library

Do you walk away from small talk feeling drained, overstimulated, or bored out of your mind?… 😵‍💫💤

…but when you find someone you can go deep with, suddenly you can talk for hours and feel more energised than when you started? ⚡💬

Does this rarely happen, such that you'd love to be skilled so when the opportunity comes up again - you want to be ready to make it meaningful?

Then welcome — this workshop is designed exactly for you. 🤝🌟

**Ideal for:**

* Neurodivergent adults (Autistic, ADHD, AuDHD) who want real connection, not surface noise 🧠💛
* People frustrated by dating-app banter or repetitive first-date conversations that never go anywhere
* Anyone who wants friendships or relationships with substance, emotion, and depth
* Those wanting to learn attunement, presence, and powerful question skills that make conversations richer and more engaging 🔍👂💡

This session is for people who want conversations that feel alive, honest, and energising — not draining. ⚡🔋

**Why Powerful Questions Matter**

Researchers like **David Clutterbuck** found that a “powerful question” can shift the direction of someone’s thinking — helping them reflect, feel, and reveal things that actually matter.

The best questions are personal, resonant, emotionally impactful, non-judgmental, and clear.

They go beyond information-gathering… and into insight. [Click here to What makes a Powerful Question.](https://clutterbuck-cmi.com/blogs/what-makes-a-powerful-question/#:~:text=Based%20on%20analysis%20of%20hundreds,the%20heart%20of%20the%20issue)

When you ask these kinds of questions with empathy, curiosity, and presence, conversations naturally become deeper, more authentic, and far more energising than small talk ever could.

✅ **What You’ll Learn**

* What makes a question “powerful” and why it changes the conversation
* A starter toolkit of powerful questions for dates, friendships, and real-life social moments
* How to listen in a way that makes people *feel safe* to open up
* How to read emotional cues and attune to the other person
* How to hold space without fixing, pushing, or interrupting
* Real-time practice with rotating partners
