Ask Better Questions

Permission slips to have more human conversations.

By Elliott Callender, founder and CEO of Nodeunlock.

What is it?

A tool to help you have more human conversations.

It's a 3-part series combining a 105 card deck of intentional questions and a guidebook for different modes of life. It begins by giving you permission to have deeper conversations. Look beyond what a human may usually share. And ends in you being able to guide the conversation to the next interaction. Leaving you and the humans you interact with a renewed sense of connection.
