44. Skip the Small Talk and Do These Instead

No Small Talk- Conversation Starters for Introverts

Happy hours, networking events, conferences... have you ever dodged these events because you hate large crowds and dread small talk? Do you struggle with initiating more meaningful conversations in your social interactions? In today’s episode, Sherry shares 3 ways to steer any conversation to get what you desire most- meaningful conversations.

We desire meaningful conversations! Connection. REAL talk! We are over the shallow conversations that feel pointless and like a waste of time. As introverts, if a conversation doesn’t go beyond small talk, we feel like we don’t have a chance to create a significant relationship. And because we’re always looking for meaningful conversations, we assume we won’t be get those at happy hour events. But while it may seem tempting to avoid networking and small talk all together, that's not the best idea either. If we want to go further faster, we need to rely on our relationships and network.

Sherry also talks about:

• How to take the lead in conversations
• How to prepare for and enjoy those events you might typically dread
• Why creating meaningful connections will help you feel fulfilled and more satisfied.
• The importance of quality relationships
