Have you ever been in a situation where you didn’t know what to say or doubt your communication skills? 

• In a networking event where you want to connect with like-minded people.
• In a parent gathering where you want to make a casual small talk about school.
• In a small group of people where you want to get to know each other.
• In your own company, when you want to share the vision and exchange information.

When I got into one of these situations, I used to sit happily and observe people quietly. I am good at listening and don’t need to make a statement or get attention at all.  

What happened, then? 

• Nothing. 
• People didn’t find who I was and what I do. 
• There weren’t any connections and exchanges of information. 

Why did I even put myself in the situation in the first place? It was just awkward. 

Small talk can be fun. What need to: 

• Be aware of the reason why you are there. 
• Think about what you want to know about and Ask the question.
• Prepare what you want to share.

Super simple things can help you be present and enjoy the moment.
