Would you like the confidence to talk to anyone and be comfortable in any social or networking setting?
Starting and holding a conversation is excellent for networking and building relationships. However, finding the right words the first time you meet someone, or even those you’ve already met, can be challenging. Regardless of the situation or personality of the person you want to talk to, there are several effective ways to begin and hold an engaging conversation.
Sometimes called “small talk,” nothing is small when done productively. Business leaders and professionals cite making small talk with clients as one of their least favorite duties. However, getting a job, working with clients, and entertaining existing ones require it.
Conversing is an essential people skill and the first step in connecting with others and forging lasting and meaningful relationships in business.
