Learn to communicate effectively—and painlessly—with this guided workbook’s 100+ writing prompts and activities.
Sometimes seen as trite or trivial, uncomfortable or even embarrassing, small talk—or the polite conversation about unimportant or uncontroversial topics—is actually a necessary skill for any adult. Small talk not only helps you connect to other people, but in doing so, it helps to build confidence in social situations, which in turn enhances health, lifts mood and energy, and improves overall well-being.
In Kick A** Small Talk, you will work through a series of exercises, activities, and writing prompts to help you better engage with other people. Topics cover:
- The Four Steps of Small Talk
- “Micro-interactions,” such as a giving or receiving a compliment or having a quick chat in the elevator
- How to widen the range of people you interact with, such as the barista, an Uber driver, or that person in accounting
- How to overcome feelings that others won’t be interested in what you have to say
- How to ask questions of others
- Prompts and verbal cues for starting (and ending) a conversation
- and so much more!
Activities, challenges, and assignments include things like going on a “Small Talk Scavenger Hunt”—the idea being that as you find, approach, and talk to strangers, you’ll grow more optimistic and confident in your conversational skills—plus many more fun things that will make you the talk of the town.
With loneliness at epidemic proportions, people are yearning more than ever to connect. All it takes is a little bit of small talk to make that first connection—and Kick A** Small Talk is the light-hearted, trusted companion you need.
