If you find it difficult to make small talk, just follow this three-step formula (link to: time.com).
- Reveal something small about yourself.
- Ask an open-ended question (that means a question that doesn’t just call for a “yes” or a “no” answer).
- Talk about what’s going on in the world.
You’ll make a confident and intelligent impression.
