Quick Tip: Nervous about an impending social interaction? Be socially prepared. If you mentally run through the following checklist, you’ll improve your chances of having a good conversation:
A feeler statement to help initiate
A question tailored to the specific person
A few relevant/interesting topics to mention in case the conversation stalls
A recent story you can tell in under a minute
Information about a personal event in the near future.
The Seven Steps to Successful Small Talk
1.Open, Confident Body Language
Look approachable and friendly. Smile sometimes. Maintain eye contact (but not in a creepy-staring-without-blinking-way).
2.Stay Light and Upbeat
Keep comments on the lighter side. Inject some energy into your expressions. Try to stay fairly positive unless they desire to go negative.
3.Tailor Comments to Their Interests
Discuss intersecting interests, but still try to customize your comments to what the other person would find interesting.
4.Self-Disclose
Share information about yourself; your feelings, preferences, experiences, stories.
5.Observe
Share observations about your surroundings, the other person, culture, etc. Dish out a few compliments.
6.Balance
Small talk requires a balance of quick observations, feelings, and questions. It requires a balance between partners in the form of turn-taking. Finally, it requires a balance between seriousness and playfulness.
7.Listen and Follow Up
Actively listen, and then ask follow-up questions. Match the vibe and energy of the moment. Expand on what they are saying.
