Small talk has its place, but deep conversations are where real connection happens. The problem? Most people don’t know how to get past the surface without making things awkward.
Why Deeper Conversations Matter
- They build trust and emotional intimacy.
- They help you truly understand someone beyond their job or hobbies.
- They make relationships more fulfilling and meaningful.
How to Move Beyond Small Talk
- Ask Open-Ended Questions – Instead of “How was your day?” try “What was the best part of your day?”
- Follow the Energy – If someone lights up talking about something, lean into that topic.
- Share a Bit More of Yourself – Vulnerability invites vulnerability. Lead by example.
Try This Today
Instead of asking a generic question, ask something that invites a story.
Example: Instead of “What do you do?” ask “What’s something about your work that excites you?”
