6 Tips to Rule the
Art of Conversation
2

• The art of conversation is an essential skill for
  almost everything in life. Conversation
  introduces you to people, important people who
  can be your mentors, employers, employees,
  partners or friends. Without conversations as the
  foundation of these relationships, you have
  difficulty building a social circle, starting a
  business or developing your career.
• When a conversation begins, you should have some
  trouble maintaining that momentum - but for most
  of us, the hardest part is getting started.
  Master these "talking points" to get (and hold) a
  conversation going on

3
Lead with a compliment.

• Compliments are the best way to start a
  conversation. They not only provide a perfect
  opening line and a possible door for discussion,
  they also make the person feel good about
  themselves. Starting the conversation on a
  positive note is crucial for the conversation to
  continue
• It remember, the more specific your praise is,
  the better, for example, commenting that a person
  is well dressed, "your shoes are cute." It's
  concise, honest, and specific and now you've
  opened the door to conversation because your
  partner has something to talk about.

4
Embrace the little talk.

• Small talks are taboo for some people, and
  although it is not the most rewarding type of
  conversation, it is functional and necessary.
  Small talk is what leads to a deeper
  conversation, in the way a car should gradually
  accelerate at a certain speed instead of reaching
  60 miles per hour instantly.
• Small conversation topics are easy to learn you
  can talk about the event you will attend, comment
  on an article of food or drink, point out
  something about the place or, if you are
  desperate, you can talk about the weather. These
  are all shared experiences that anyone can relate
  to, so they can work for anyone

5
Ask a lot of questions.

• If you want to move from a small conversation to
  a real conversation, you should look for any
  opportunity that will lead you to change the
  subject. Do not try to change gears suddenly and
  talk about something deep or substantial
  Instead, wait patiently for the opportunity to
  introduce yourself.
• The questions are conversational lubricants. Pay
  as much attention to the conversation as possible
  and use them to move forward. You should be
  exploring the whole conversation for
  opportunities to "tell me more." Keep possible
  questions in the back of your mind. Try to be as
  specific and inquisitive as possible.

Be kind.

• This should be obvious, but don't neglect it.
  Your level of friendship can make or break the
  receptivity of the other party involved. Enter
  the conversation with a big smile and open body
  language, and stay open, receptive and smiling
  politely for as much of the conversation as you
  can.
• Try not to cross your arms, appear distracted or
  allow your eyes to wander. Keep eye contact when
  you can and do your best to show that you are
  really interested in what they have to say.

7
Let the other person speak

• This is another important point. If you enter a
  conversation and immediately begin to dominate it
  with your own anecdotes, comments and
  explanations, the other person can immediately
  disinterested. Instead, try to keep the focus on
  them as much as possible.
• Using frequently asked questions is a good
  strategy for this purpose. If you find that the
  conversation is diminishing, or if the person
  simply does not answer the questions well, feel
  free to jump into yourself. Tell a funny story or
  a personal anecdote it can be exactly what the
  conversation needs to continue.

8
Keep it light.

• Try to keep the conversation light and accessible
  as possible. If you immediately start complaining
  about your work or talk about what is wrong in
  your life, people will want to avoid it. If you
  tell a joke or a funny story, they will be much
  more likely to stay.
• People tend to gravitate towards others with a
  positive attitude, so keep your conversation
  material positive. If you have difficulties with
  this, try to memorize a handful of good jokes or
  good stories to use when you meet new people

  perspective, so they can be used in almost any

  your preconceived notions and doubts and accept

  practice and more confidence, you shouldn't have
  trouble starting a conversation with anyone,
