After a decade of hosting our events in dozens of cities around the world, we are bubbly and itching to share our first collection of merchandise offerings. Many of our regular Skip the Small Talking folks have been nudging us about this, and not only the card deck itself which was also made available earlier in 2024. Enjoy, and we’ll see you at an event soon!
100+ questions to start conversations that actually matter!
At the nationwide events hosted by the company Skip the Small Talk, strangers come together to make connections through interpersonal conversations. Now, with Skip the Small Talk Card Deck, everyone can practice flexing their metaphorical “vulnerability muscle” directly with friends, loved ones, and acquaintances.
Founder and CEO Ashley Kirsner’s methodology, backed by her social and clinical psychology research, is summarized in a useful guidebook which sets up the science and ground rules of the approach. The 100 cards, each featuring a thought-provoking question, start conversations about the most important things in life—helping you form new friendships and deepen existing bonds.

Being in a situation where people were actively encouraged to talk to each other meant that it was trivially easy to have the kind of deep conversations I would normally never build up to in a strange setting. It felt fantastic.”
“Easily one of the best social nights I've had in recent memory. Definitely great if you consider yourself an introvert. Great way to meet new people and explore the dynamics of genuine conversations.”
“I didn’t really know what to expect STST would be like. I found that the people I met had a variety of reasons for attending - simple curiosity, the desire to meet someone to form real intimacy with, the desire to make new friends, the desire to learn about themselves. In any case, they were ready to speak, and to listen.”
