Small talk is a big deal.
The short yet sweet conversations you are willing to initiate with anyone can propel your career more than you think.
This isn’t about networking or the weather. It’s learning about others, becoming a better listener, engaging with those with differing interests, and feeling comfortable talking about anything in a casual manner.
Be interested instead of striving to be interesting. You have nothing to prove. Learn as much as you can instead.
Conversations aren’t about retaining the most amount of information. They’re about understanding the person, making them feel heard, and building a connection. We have to become curious about those outside of our circle.
Small talk allows you to create a safe environment to have deeper conversations and build trust.
