  • If there is one thing to unite this world, it is the hatred of small talk.

  • It doesn't matter if it's a corporate company event or maybe it's just a week in networking.

  • It can be terrible.

  • It can be downright scary at times.

  • So how do you do it and how do you get better at it?

  • Well, I got you.

  • Today we're talking all about how to never struggle with small talk.

  • Welcome to the Jefferson Fisher Podcast where I'm on a mission to make your next conversation the one that changes everything.

  • It's if you enjoy learning tools to improve your communication, I'm going to ask you to follow this podcast and if you would please leave a review.

  • If you have any suggestions for a topic, just throw them in the comments.

  • Also, my new book, the Next Conversation is officially out on pre order and you can find links for it down in the show notes.

  • Small talk, it's gross.

  • So how are we going to fix that?

  • Let me give you some hints.

  • Number one, instead of just asking, how's work?

  • How's home?

  • Those kind of questions just fall flat.

  • They do nothing for you.

  • They don't move the conversation at all.

  • Instead, we're going to switch it to ask questions that are action oriented.
