Shout out to all of you who have attended the Art of Small Talk workshop conducted in SP last Friday. Thank you for making the three hours so much fun! I was really amazed at how fast you people became friends… (P.S: Though the workshop ended at 9pm, the participants were happily chatting away, not willing to leave. They sure know how to make small talk!)
There is an article by Scott Young that I would like to recommend all of you to read. His blog is one of the few that I read religiously every day. This article is even more relevant to those who attended the talk I gave at NUS on 25 Nov, titled How to Charm your Listeners: The Art of Making Small Talk For those of you who could not register because it was full house, I have good news for you. NUS PROSE is considering to do a re-run either in Nov or Dec. Not sure the time yet. But I will let you know when I do.
I recently received a very interesting question and I would like to take some time to answer it here.
“Can you share with me on… how to make small talks with people of higher authority? (for eg, after attending a talk, there’re many people worth saying hi to…how to do tt without feeling out of place? what to say? how to start? )”
There are two parts to the question:
1. How do I make small talks
2. How do I make small talks with people of higher authority?
