1. What's Your Purpose?
|
Be clear about your purpose
when conversing. For example, are you trying to
persuade someone or just to have a fun time talking?
If your purpose is
unclear - if you're really trying to sell someone while pretending to
make social conversation - you might create an awkward
situation. Be clear, not confusing or deceptive.
|
2. Share the Good Stuff
|
|
Be on the lookout for bits of
information that are useful, funny, or uplifting. When you share them with friends and co-workers, they'll see you as a more
interesting person, as one who often has something of value to
share because you regularly offer them a `free prize
inside`.
|
3. Don't Be a "Know-it-all"
|
Masterful conversation requires
flexibility and the willingness to stay open to new information we haven't
yet learned. (You may have noticed that certain people become
uneasy if they don't know everything, and they become
defensive. It's better to be humble and willing to learn. When you don't know everything, no need to be resistant. You can tactfully inquire and find out. Be a learner, not a smarty-pants.
