How to use it

Which questions for whom

For coworkers

Keep it light: experiences or things, practical or fun, how they start the morning, what they always run out of.

For family

Go a little deeper: a skill they'd love to learn, a dream trip, the best gift they've ever had, what they have too much of.

For a teacher, from the class

Everyday comforts work best, so ask about their morning drink, scents they like and how they spend a free evening.
