How to Talk to a Human

Let’s face it: we suck at talking to people. We just suck. And it feels like we’re getting worse. We’re more polarized, less tolerant, more in our heads, and less vulnerable. So, conversations can feel, well, hard. Which is why we teamed up with Jad Abumrad, who has spent the past 20 years building some of the biggest public radio shows and podcasts out there to create a whole new experience.

How to Talk to a Human gets to the core of having easy, impactful, and productive 1-on-1 exchanges. We’ll practice listening, dealing with adversity, and sharing unique and different points of view to make you a better manager, colleague, friend, and overall human.

Features

Go Deep With Your Team.

Skip the small talk that can be so pervasive in the workplace and ask and answer thoughtful and meaningful questions one-on-one with your teammates.

Discover Your Blocks.

We all have them. Perceptions or beliefs about how we should show up, what other people think about you, or how you view others. We'll dive into the impact of those perceptions, and offer tools on how to shift them.

Learn to (REALLY) Listen.

It is so easy, and often expected, in today's world to do 10 things at once, that true presence and active listening have become not only rare but difficult to practice. This course gives you the space to practice in real time with your team, and some tips on how to bring these skills into your daily life.

Feedback

“How to Talk to a Human was a fun opportunity to have conversations with people we don't work with day to day and don't normally get to have conversations with. The platform is engaging, utilizing different presentation styles and activities to keep it interesting. It left us with much to think about and consider regarding communications in our work and personal lives.”

“BAR Architects & Interiors has been delighted with the ripple effect Jad’s How to Talk to Humans has had across our organization. We knew the program would be fun and insightful; what we didn’t expect was the amount of actionable take-aways and a measurable boost in means of engagement. One month later and our Senior Associates continue to refer back to specific content and weave new layers of engagement across our community of practice. Everyone should do this workshop!”

HEART BEATS TO HIGH FIVES WITH Element Science

When your product literally saves lives by restarting hearts mid-crisis, a sheet cake in the breakroom doesn’t quite cut it.

This incredible team from Element Science —creators of a wearable defibrillator designed to deliver life-saving intervention exactly when it’s needed—had hit a major milestone. After a cardiac event, patients are at high risk for another. Once implanted, the device can restart the heart and keep the patient stable until emergency care arrives

To celebrate, they brought the whole team together for something a little different: a ferry ride to Angle Island, a massive picnic, and a Classic Go Game to tie it all together.

We kicked off the game as soon as we landed, turning their group into clue-solvers, mission-completers, and yes—very enthusiastic dance challengers. The game also wove in some local history, revealing stories and landmarks around the island. There may have even been a cartwheel or two on the lawn. (It was that kind of day.)

After the game, the team stretched out on the lawn for a big picnic, conversation, and maybe a little victory lounging. The vibe was light, connected, and fully deserved.

One last spark: their CEO had played a Go Game with us years ago and brought us back for this moment. Turns out some things—like a good game and a well-timed jolt—leave a lasting impression!

"We recently used The Go Game for a company-wide team-building event on Angel Island, and it was a success! Employees from our senior executives to our most junior team members, everyone had a blast. Robin, our host, was phenomenal. She had the perfect mix of energy and presence to keep all 65 participants fully engaged throughout the event. She knew how to command attention without ever being overbearing, and her ability to connect with such a large, diverse group really stood out.

The best part? People left having made new connections with colleagues they'd never interacted with before. That sense of camaraderie and team spirit is exactly what we were hoping to foster and The Go Game delivered. If you're looking for a team-building experience that's fun, inclusive, and actually effective, I highly recommend The Go Game. Your team will love it and talk about it long after the event is over!"
