When working with my clients they often bring up the point that they are not naturally good at small talk when meeting people for the first time. Good, I tell them. No small talk please. Instead ask questions that will naturally get a conversation started like; “What brings you to this event?” or “Where is the most interesting place you have travelled?” Keep it real and be yourself.
