Skill of the Week (12/29/25): Starting Conversations
Starting feels awkward because there’s no feedback yet. Once a conversation begins, most people relax.
This week’s focus is simple: starting, not being interesting.
You don’t need a clever opener. Most conversations start with:
- A shared observation
- A simple question
- A comment about the situation
Examples:
- “Have you been here before?”
- “This place is busier than I expected.”
- “How long have you been waiting?”
None of these are impressive. That's why they work.
THIS WEEK'S PRACTICE:
Start one short conversation this week.
It can last:
- 10 seconds
- 30 seconds
- Or end immediately
All outcomes count.
I'll post a short reflection post for you to share at the end of the week.
