The Empathy Game: Starting Conversations with a Throw of the Dice

Do you want to go beyond small talk with
colleagues, friends, family, or strangers? This is
your game to truly connect with people.
Imagine a red car, I'll do the same. Now describe
it to me. No red car would ever be the same. No
thought, or story ever is. We listen. We might
smile. We nod. But, do we really understand each
other? The human mind predicts and assumes
to make sense of the world, and to understand
people. There's often more to discover than we
assume to know.
The Empathy Game connects the dots. It engages
people to share, listen, and engage with stories
beyond their own frame of reference. There's
more to discover and learn. Let's play.
