Tips for small talk
Tips for small talk
- Be cheerful, fair and funny
- Be interested and ask positively worded questions
- Be genuine, don't exaggerate and talk about things that are important or interesting to you.
- Refrain from making run-of-the-mill remarks or giving dishonest compliments. That never goes down well.
- Be respectful and respect when you are not wanted. Make a dignified exit and pat yourself on the back for trying.
Sometimes it's also just good to be completely honest and say something like "I've been thinking about how to start a conversation with you, but I don't know how to go about it. Maybe you can help me with that?"
