Skip the Small Talk this Holiday Season
A free download to help you spark meaningful conversations.
The holidays are supposed to be about connection — but let’s be honest.
Sometimes it’s a lot of weather talk, travel logistics, and “how’s work?” on loop.
If you’re craving conversations that go deeper — the kind that leave you feeling closer, more understood, and genuinely connected — you’re in the right place.
Introducing the Starter Pack of Big Talk Questions, a free guide from The Opposite of Small Talk designed to help you move beyond surface-level chatter and into conversations that matter.
What’s Inside
The Starter Pack of Big Talk Questions includes prompts across four themes:
🌟 About Them
Help people share stories, reflections, and the things they’ve learned this year.
❤️ About Connection
Create space for gratitude, closeness, and understanding.
📈 About Growth
Spark conversations about change, resilience, and what truly matters.
🌍 About the World
Invite thoughtful perspectives and big-picture thinking.
These aren’t small talk questions — they’re real talk questions.
And they work whether you’re talking with:
Friends you haven’t seen in a while
Family gathered for the holidays
Your partner over a quiet dinner
A team at work
Yourself, through journaling
