Master small talk and make more friends

When you're out at a party, or at a bar, do you find it difficult to talk to strangers, or even friends you don't know that well?

Some people consider small talk unimportant but being great at small talk means being confident socially. And being confident socially means you can make friends quicker and enjoy life more.

Small talk is human grooming

Small talk is a way of grooming. All animals need to groom each other - chimps are best known for this - but we humans (on the whole) prefer small talk.

Small talk puts others at their ease and paves the way for talking about more weighty or 'deep' matters. Gentle, enjoyable small talk 'paves the way' for other topics of conversation.

From small talk comes big talk

People need to feel comfortable to talk about things that really matter to them. Small talk allows people to ease into the right frame of mind to disclose other, more seemingly important matters. So talking about the weather or TV or whatever is a way of ensuring that others things can be talked about. Without small talk you may never get to the big talk.

When you master small talk you master rapport building. Small talk is the social glue that connects you to others.

Small talk may be big talk in disguise

Being adept at small talk also means you can talk in parallel. The patterns of small talk will actually often unconsciously mirror the patterns of what is really going on in peoples' minds. So you can learn to read people when you effectively engage in small talk. You can also use your own small talk to seed ideas you want to develop further once the conversation becomes more in depth. This session will give you a method of doing that and get you truly relaxed socially.
