What shy people fail to do is they become so self focused that they don't think about the ongoing conversation. They can't think about how they could build or elaborate because they're so focused on the inside. Maybe I'll come see what you're editing next time. What we have is you've established future contact, we don't have to start from scratch the next time, it's already building. That's successful conversation.
Small talk is more than small talk.
Every great relationship, every wonderful romance, every big business deal starts with small talk. That way you have time to settle in and feel comfortable in your new surroundings. For more information on overcoming shyness, you can call our toll-free number, which we'll give to you at the end of the program.
