Conversation Starters: The Art of Conversation
Being able to start a great conversation is absolutely critical
these days, as it is an extremely powerful way to connect and
interact with people in a personal, one-on-one way.
The art of conversation seems to be a dying discipline these
days, with the increased popularity of email, instant messenger,
and the general business of everyday life.
To be perfectly honest, many of us either don't know or have
just forgotten how to start and carry on a good conversation.
As a result of society in general's lack of conversation skills,
there is an increased need for the few who either have - or are
willing to learn - the conversational skills needed to fill the
current void in our society today.
Think about that for a minute.....Conversation skills are needed
everywhere, all the time.
Whether you want to improve your conversation skills to ask
someone out, or to increase the number of sales you make,
everyone of us needs them on a day to day, situation by
situation basis.
I mean, how would your life change if you doubled your
conversational ability?
What would change if you all of a sudden were able to morph into
the type of person who could start and carry on a conversation
with anybody - in a natural, confident way?
How would you look as you walked up to that guy or girl that
you've never seen before and just struck up a conversation with
them - without thinking twice - not having any awkward moments?
How would it feel to be able to connect with every potential
client that you meet in such a personal way that they
immediately trust and like you?
What kind of satisfaction would you get from having a whole
audience on the edge of their seats as they listened to you -
hanging on your every word?
Ah, yes. The art of conversation may be a dying art, but so are
its masters and apprentices.
There are untold treasures of favor, promotion and prosperity
for those willing to sit in the school of conversation's
education while walking the streets of speech's experience.
But are we willing to chance it?
Are we willing to embrace skills that we are too busy for, and
to experiment with practices that are almost becoming counter
cultural to the world we live in?
