Chapter 1: How To Make A Small Talk

 

Whenever you go to a new place, you get the feel of the anxiety of talking to a stranger, and you are indecisive of how to start the conversation and what to talk about. Well, it is better to have meaningful conversations than staying quiet and assuming different things. You have to speak up and make your point so that other person can get to know you. It has become essential for people to be socialized to make connections and have a good reputation in the society.

 

Whether you are at a gathering or an official meeting, make sure you know how to start the small talks so that you can cultivate happiness and build strong relationships. Here are some of the ways which you can adopt to make small talks creative and happy for yourself and the person around you.

 

Ask Questions

 

When someone is talking to you, it is not necessary that you understand everything they say. Ask questions and do not be embarrassed if you do not understand anything in their conversation. That helps you build confidence and understand better to continue the conversation. Such as during the conversation if someone is telling you their story, your questions will make them think that you are taking interest and listening to them carefully. It gives a feel of genuine interest from your side to their conversation.

 

Inquire about the Topic

 

This is like playing the character of Curious George. You can start the conversation with how are you and where are you from? Asking about their career and their experience which will eventually lead to personal talks in a while such as family and friends. Most of the times when you are at the meetings, you will realize that you may be having some of the mutual friends who will make the conversations more interesting.

 

Take Advice

 

You can listen to the person and know their views on some mutual interest subject. Be open to the advice if you get to know the other person is above from you in the experience. When you get to know about the mutual interests, then you can follow up with the conversation with knowing better options for yourself and how to pursue further. You can have food or a drink with each other to be comfortable and consider the advice from the other person.

 

Talk Less

 

It is better that you do not express your favorites and your views all of a sudden. Listen to the other person and do not interrupt in between while they are talking. Make sure you have a habit of listening to others and then responding when they are done.

 

Know the 20-second rule

 

Everyone knows about the 20-second rule so make sure to keep in mind that the first 20 seconds of meeting someone are always crucial where the other person builds up the impression of you which can last forever. Do not compromise on that and be wise while starting a conversation and ending it on a good note.

 

All the ways are simple and easy to use, but when it comes to the time where you have to act, people mostly forget them. So do not commit this mistake and carry on with it confidently to have a meaningful small talk.

When you are meeting someone new, you do not know how they are or how they will behave, but you can give your best.

Meeting someone new is not hard, but you just need to be careful about it such as that the other person will be noticing your smile and your nonverbal movements. You have to present yourself in such a way that it leaves positive vibes for the other person and they are forced to think that you are a nice human being. Do not make it up but be natural with maintaining the professionalism in you. Have the right manners to meet someone, and when you create the first impression, then it automatically answers a lot of questions of the other person which may be coming in their brain about you.
