All-in-one Meeting Guide

Connection Cards

Overview

Connection activities are focused on sharing personal stories and benefiting from your Circle’s ideas, experiences, and support. The Connection Card activity uses a deck of cards to facilitate the process of sharing deep information with one another quickly through a series of questions. The goal of this activity is to get to know one another better by answering questions and sharing a lot of information fast—think of it as table topics for your Circle!

Meeting Goals

  • Get to know yourself and your Circle on a deeper level
  • Build trust with your Circle by opening up and sharing personal stories and experiences
