Mastering Small Talk: No More Awkward Silences!
Has Coupon
The "Ping-Pong" Method for confident chatting
Description
Do you freeze when a meeting starts? Do you struggle to "chat" before getting down to business?
In Western culture, Small Talk is a huge part of building relationships. It is not just "wasting time."
In this lesson, we will stop the awkward silences. I will teach you the "Ping-Pong Method" (Answer + Add Detail + Ask Back) to keep any conversation flowing naturally.
We will practice specific scenarios:
-
The "Zoom Waiting Room": What to say while waiting for others to join.
-
The "Monday Morning": How to talk about your weekend without being boring.
-
The "Elevator Pitch": Answering "What do you do?" confidently.
Perfect for business professionals who want to feel more comfortable with colleagues!
