Louis Carter adapted Arthur Ahrens' love experiment for workplaces by shortening the mutual stare from 60 seconds to 20 and replacing the original questions with ones about co-creation and shared values. The brief interaction builds trust and emotional connectedness between employees.

Chapters

This guy Arthur Ahrens, he found out how people fall in love with questions and staring, right? So I did the same. It's literally like staring at each other like this. I did the same thing in companies. Instead of doing it for 60 seconds that Arthur did, I brought it down to about 20 seconds staring so it didn't get as creepy as it was with Arthur. And then I asked different questions. The questions are different. It's about how do you co-create? How do you feel like you align your values? What are your values? How do you respect and be respected? So this deepening of understanding about this other half or more of your life that we spend working has been debunked by virtue of this emotional connectedness concept and a love workplace concept.
