If you have a copy of Marnie and Rena’s self-help book, EMPOWER YOUR ViBE, Igniting Your Passion, Purpose, and Brand to Unleash Your Unstoppable Best Self, you know they have included “Questions to ask yourself” at the end of each chapter, and using these same questions, they have also made available a free gift of a downloadable JOURNAL with lines to write on to help readers with their transformative journey. This JOURNAL is accessed via the link or QR Code on the last page of their book.

Well, NOW, the authors have made available another BONUS free gift! This time, it's a TABLE TALK Activity, using the same questions and also accessed via the same link or QR Code.

They invite you to engage in this activity with your children, family, friends, students, staff, colleagues, or peers to encourage THINKING, TALKING, and SHARING.

    HOW to do this activity?

  1. Print the TABLE TALK Activity file (one-sided only—not front to back).
  2. Cut up the questions into QUESTION CARDS. Each question includes the title of the chapter from which that question originated in the book, EMPOWER YOUR ViBE (to provide some context from the book).
  3. Shuffle the total pile of questions OR put the questions from each chapter together into separate piles OR select the questions you wish to use.
  4. Each participant, one at a time, selects a QUESTION CARD from the pile, or you, as the moderator, can select the card for each participant. (You may want to select the questions based on what you know about each individual OR you can select cards associated with each chapter to focus the conversations on specific topics as based on the chapters in the book.)
  5. Each participant READS the question aloud to the group, THINKS about how it RELATES to his/her specific knowledge and experiences, and then RESPONDS to the question while everyone listens.
  6. As the moderator, you may want to ask others to provide feedback, ask questions, and add their related thoughts, and you may want to add your thoughts too.

 AFTER engaging in this activity, discuss as a group:

  • What stands out as being important? What was reinforced for you? What is your biggest takeaway?
  • What goals can you set to become more unstoppable?
  • What support might you need to accomplish your goals (books, online resources, courses, family, friends, professional help, other?).
  • How can you celebrate your accomplishments and bring more happiness and joy into your lives? 

WHEN to do this activity?

  • With your family or friends, after dinner in your home or in a restaurant.
  • As an activity at a party or social gathering.
  • If you are a teacher, teacher educator, or camp counsellor, with your colleagues and/or students or campers.
  • As an employer, manager, or leader, during a staff meeting, conference, or with a small group.
  • As members of a book club on Zoom or face-to-face, read the book or specific chapters, and do the Table Talk Activity.
  • Other?    

My daughters and I, and others we know, have tried this activity in several different situations with children and adults, ages 10 to 90, and it works sooooo well!

Here’s some REVIEWS:  

Highly recommend this TABLE TALK Activity! I participated in this activity at a friend's house after dinner and it was fun and quite enlightening. Each question was presented on a strip of paper, and it encouraged one person at a time to think about his/her own life and respond. It was fun to reflect on my question and then answer it in the group. I also really enjoyed hearing everyone else's responses, which also got me thinking about my life and experiences. Great activity! - Josh Rosenzweig 

A wonderful activity! I was at a family dinner and just before dessert, we played this activity with everyone at the table, including my ten-year-old granddaughter. It was so interesting to hear everyone’s answers. I found it so enjoyable, and I learned a lot too. It’s a great way to get everyone to talk and share. I’m planning to try it with my students when I get the opportunity while supply teaching. I think it will be excellent as an introductory activity to spark thinking and discussion. - Diane Deutsch
