Arrive early and we can ensure that you are included in a game. However, should you arrive after 7:00pm you may need to wait for games to finish to be included, or if people are playing long games, it might not be practical to start a new game. **Full bar and snacks available** The Caulfield RSL generously provide the venue free of charge. A selection of food and drinks are available for purchase at the bar. Note that only food or drink purchased at the RSL can be consumed at the venue. We look forward to seeing you!

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 * Feedback and reflection to strengthen your skills * A chance to share your social challenges so future sessions can be tailored to you 🔄 **How the Session Flows** * Warm welcome + safety setup * What actually makes a question powerful (mini-teach) * Sample toolkit + why these questions work * Paired practice rounds (fun, safe, structured) * Group reflection: What surprised you? What opened something? * Optional deeper practice round * Quick feedback survey * Closing + practical next steps 💡 **Example Powerful Questions You Can Use** * **1.** *What shaped you into who you are today?* **2.** *What matters most to you right now?* * **3**. *What* is **most hard** about *(x challenge)*? **4.** *What does success look like for you?* **5.** *What are you wanting or needing that you rarely talk about?* **6.** *What moments make you feel most alive or seen?* **7.** *What drains your social energy?* * **8.** *(Followup) What restores it?* **9.** *What’s one thing you’d love to change about how you connect with people?* These questions help you move from shallow chat… to meaningful dialogue, and thus connection.
