Here are 10 remote conversation starters you might want to try out:
- Tell me a little about the work you do.
- What are the major projects on your desk right now?
- Tell me a little about your career progression and how you got to your current role?
- What have you found to be a useful tip around building relationships virtually?
- What’s been your biggest learning as a professional?
- What are some strategies you use to (manage conflict, “manage up”, focus on you)?
- What helps you be productive in the remote space?
- What resources do you tap into regularly (websites, people etc)
- What’s one tip or suggestion you have for others in our line of work/space?
- What’s the piece of advice you have for others?
These are all possibilities. They may have resonance or not.
Key to remote working success is making a concreted effort to build relationships (horizontal, vertical, within your industry, outside your organization and industry) on a regular basis.
I hope that you find these remote conversation starters useful.
