How Important Is Small Talk?

Take a look at Marissa Solomon Shandell’s artwork.

What do your conversations look like?

Do you skip the small talk and dive into deep conversations straightaway?

Or do you start with small talk and gradually move to deeper topics?

Whichever tactic you use, it helps to have some „deep“ conversation starters up your sleeve.

These might work for you:

• What does it mean to live a good life?
• How have your strengths helped you to succeed?
• What is the hardest decision you have ever had to make?
• What are your biggest goals for your life?
• Where do you find meaning in your life?
• What do you value most in other people?
• What is the best piece of advice you have received?

Do you have a deep conversation starter that always works?
