How to Make Small Talk with Strangers

One of my primary strength: making small talk with strangers.

Why small talk with strangers?

To me, I like to talk with strangers. Why? It is fun! It is challenging. I have the ‘gift of gab’ which means I can talk quickly on my feet. Some ideas:

  1. Talk like a child! Don’t strive to be serious.
  2. Ask a lot of questions
  3. Ask what is on your mind and don’t censor yourself
  4. Joke around a lot
  5. Take a social risk by even engaging a stranger in conversation!

After this, everything else will follow.
