Step 7 of the 7 Steps to Confidence  – The Art of Open Conversations

How comfortable are you talking to strangers? These could be friends of friends at social occasions; at networking events; or meeting people on holiday. Do you stand there thinking “Argh – I can’t think of anything to say” and the more you think about it, the more stressed you become and the more your mind becomes blank of things to say. It’s horrible – I know – I used to dread going to social and corporate events – all that small talk – thinking that people will judge me and think that I’m stupid. I shudder just at the thought of remembering those times.

Here’s the thing – being comfortable talking with others is a skill – and skills can be learned.

So why is it worth learning the art of open conversation?

You will:

• Connect easily with people who could benefit you in your career
• Feel comfortable talking to stranger at any situation
• Improve dating opportunities
• Make good impressions
• Boost your confidence
• And much more!

The first step in learning the art of open conversations is to imagine that there is a connection with you and the other person – set the intention that you want to connect and get to know this person – be curious in finding out more about them. Get in the right frame of mind.
