Conversation Skills

  1. Using effective language
    • Don’t intentionally add fillers like “um” when trying to sound confident
      • Use tone and pacing to not sound like a robot
  2. Questions vs Statements
    • Maintaining conversations through statement is more powerful than questions
      • Adds your personality
    • Cold reading is when you “intuitively” know something about someone without knowing it; mild predictions
      • “Where do you work?” vs “You seem to be a creative person, I’m sure your job is hella fun”
      • “There’s no way you’re not in the reading club, right?”
        • More engaging and provides positive assumptions
      • Three possibilities:
        1. Wrong and they correct
          • Dismiss that you were wrong, and not like it matters since you don’t know them
        2. Wrong and curious as to your hunch
          • Leads to deeper conversations about her and things
        3. Right and startled at your accuracy
          • Rapport and impressed
      • Cold read in place of asking questions
    • Statements prevents blanking by providing conversation fuel through observations
      • Randomness is okay, just speak what’s on your mind
        • Will reveal yourself and also hear her input
        • Can lead to her asking questions, flipping the script
  3. Endless conversation topics
    • Dissect the parts of a statement and build on it
    • Conversations only end when there are no jump-off points
  4. Storytelling
    • You should be able to form stories from jump-off points, as well as provide some
    • Three points of a story:
      1. Set up
      2. Content/Conflict
      3. Resolution
        • Note when you are finished

      I knew I wasn’t meant for the 9 to 5 world almost immediately. Out of college, I took a nice job at a prestigious bank in downtown Boston (Setup).

      I hated it from day one. In fact, I remember thinking about three hours into the first day, “I wonder how long I have to work here before I can leave?” (Conflict/Content).

      My next thought was, “This is probably a bad sign.” (Resolution).

  5. Relating and Connecting
    • The main topics of conversation should be you and her
      • Everything, including inferred people, should relate back to either
    • Uncovering identity creates connection
    • Be open, encourage sharing, and relate to them
      • Practice: think of passions, dreams, memorable experiences, relationships, and try to talk about them

      Be willing to share any part of yourself to anyone at any time and on any level. You have nothing to lose by sharing yourself.

    • Instead of knowing about your interests, she will know you
      • Sharing relations is like taking their previous experiences and implying the same onto you
