Small Talk that Doesn’t Suck

No one likes 'networking', and the process of meeting new people can sometimes be like pulling teeth.

How are you, how many siblings do you have, did you have a commute, how long have you lived here, where did you go to university...?! YIKES.

Let's change small talk into real talk that leads to rapport and deeper friendships.

SMALL TALK THAT DOESN'T SUCK - the title tells you all you need to know. How to go from a stranger to a deeper connection extremely quickly, while avoiding most of the awkwardness and useless topics that are inherent.

You'll understand what to say, how to say it, and when to say it. Extremely specific guidelines and prompts in this book to keep people engaged and opening up in any conversation.

What to say and when to say to be likable, connect, and make a memorable impression.

Patrick King is an internationally bestselling author and social skills coach. His writing draws of a variety of sources, from scientific research, academic experience, coaching, and real life experience. He suffered for years as a shy introvert and managed to boil human interaction down to a science - first for himself, and now for you.

NO MORE: interview mode, awkward silence, or struggling to hold people’s attention.

- Reading and working with different types of conversational energy and flow

- Adding salt and acid to an interaction - what and how?!

- Why and when you should mention your flaws, and how they are like conversational bait

- What is "medium" talk and how to skip directly to it

- Six guidelines to the art of asking amazing questions

- Storytelling 101

- How to use interruptions to your advantage?!

Become someone who is magnetic and who can make new friends in any situation.

Simple conversation is the gatekeeper to friendships, your dream career, romance, and overall happiness. The ability to connect with anyone is an underrated superpower. People will be more drawn to you without even knowing why, and never again people will people be bored talking to you. You’ll never run out of things to say when you master these conversation tactics.
