uncomfortable. So when you are

trying to start a conversation there

is presumably this gap that you're trying to fill.

so my advice is to have a few tricks in your back pocket

that you can automatically default to, to immediately

break that uncomfortable silence and

ignite a really interesting conversation. So let's take for example

you're in a new environment where a lot of strangers are coming together

and when you walk into the space maybe you're naturally gravitate towards an

individual

maybe because you like what they're wearing or you just somehow seem drawn

to them.

What are the techniques I love to do is really

genuinely acknowledge something that you find interesting about them.

It could be commenting on a button they're wearing or shoes that they

have on or

maybe the way they styled her hair who knows or or a jacket that the one who

knows

but it's something that is inspired on on them

that you can spark the conversation and you're having

a shared experience because they're they're wearing it or their

embodying it and your acknowledging it. Now the second thing that I like to do

is take the idea of a shared experience to the environment itself.

You both in the same place maybe there is a statement that you can

knowledge about what's happening in the room or the people or

how excited you are to hear such-and-such speaker. There's something

that you can connect to

that is a shared experience and thirdly

I'm always intrigued by the question of: so what brought you here today.

I want to know why. I love knowing why

people do the things that they do, even if it's why did they come to that event.

You would be amazed at the stories that you hear and the

opening that's created. So if you wanna start

an interesting conversation have a couple of sparks

of topics that you can bring to the table that

immediately sets people at ease. Now with all of these examples

one thing is for certain. Your energy is going to attract that energy to you.

So if you're showing up in an event and you're feeling confident. You're feeling

warm

and you have the ability to just open yourself up to the people around you

that also helps you start a conversation,

because you're basically wearing a billboard that says yes

I wanna meet you. Yes I wanna talk to you.

So with that energy in mind have three

things that you can have in your back pocket to bring up as conversation

starters

and believe me you will never want for anyone to talk to.
