  • Summary

  • I’m demystifying the art and science of small talk so you can be a great conversationalist and overcome social anxiety at parties (like those upcoming holiday parties!), work events, group dinners, and more. I think of myself as an extroverted introvert – small talk did not initially come easy to me, but I’ve learned to love it. In this solo episode, I’m giving you the tools and research that allowed me to overcome my fear of small talk. Many people say they hate small talk, but research on the subject indicates that we may like it more than we think. Small talk is a great way to connect with strangers on a human level, and because most people like it, most people want to talk to you! I’ll teach you my go-to conversation starters, conversational pointers that actually work, and more. 00:00 Introduction 2:53 The Importance Of Micro-connections 6:21 Why Do We Think We Hate Small Talk? 7:36 Initiating Conversations 10:10 Introduction Questions That Actually Work 15:22 What To Do During The Conversation 20:05 Pausing & Embracing Silence Ready to uplevel every part of your life?
