On episode 14, we discuss about starting a conversation and having small talks. This is episode we cover the biggest challenge that we all face... finding conversational topics
Topics that we cover in this episode!
- How to never run out of conversational topics
- How to be interesting
- How to know if the other party is REALLY interested in what you're saying
- How to be annoying (So that you won't be)
- Simple body language
Highlights, Takeaways, & Quick Wins:
- Zooming in and out, whenever you hit a conversational brickwall, "Zoom out" and talk about something that he is wearing or something you like about them and talk about it
- Practice telling a fun story you have (Interesting holiday, Cold jokes, Palm reading)
It makes you more confident to talk to someone knowing you have a fallback topic - It is always okay to end a bad conversation, not all conversation flows smoothly
- Get distracted while telling a story, if it is interesting topic for the person, they will remind you to continue the topic.
- 48.30 (Bonus key tip, handling a conversation even without starting a topic)
- Maintain eye contact, feet pointed at who you're talking, and SMILE
