These questions were prepared for attendees at a Business Expo.
They could just as well be used for your neighborhood group, or at a lunch meeting at work. Feel free to use them any way you like, since they are designed to jolt people out of being complaisant. (Remember, our tagline at the Business Expo was: “Who do you think you’re kidding?!”)
Oh, and if you would like the answers, here they are, as prepared for our friends at that Expo!
Who do you think you’re kidding?
