My returning guest is British charisma coach Marcus Oakey, who is exactly who you need to help you get past small talk with people, and especially get through that awkward ‘cordial’ stage that ensues.
What is it exactly about cordial small talk that’s lacking, and what kind of conversation is it we should actually be moving toward instead? And what if you’re indeed pretty good at making conversation with people, but still encounter some who are virtually impossible to talk to? Is it YOU, or THEM? And in such cases, where can you find small talk out of nowhere when you need it?
And what do you do if you don’t get the desired response from the other person? Do you have to be a brilliant conversationalist to be a charismatic presence? When it comes to early-stage conversation, how can we as men unwire our competition mindset, as if every interaction is going to be a win or a loss?
The truth is you can achieve true connection and rapport with people and make them like you without any real advanced skill whatsoever…in fact, as one story illustrates, often less can be more. What is Marcus’ hack for objectively moving from cordial talk to more meaningful conversation?
How many times should you attempt to expand a conversation with someone before wishing them well and signing off? The answer to that one WILL surprise you. And finally…what are the hazardous consequences of waiting for someone else to make the first move conversationally?
