Hello how may I help you? Wow. I really want to impress my boss at this part. I am just so bad with small talk. How can I help you with that? I hear you are good with creative prompts. Does that include giving topics of conversation? What kind of party, or what kind of people, are you looking to start conversations with? Well, it is business related. So, my boss and fellow coworkers. It is a business-type party, or a very casual party? Somewhere in between. We can bring our partners. You can always start out by asking what the other person's partner does for a living. We all work at the same place. Anything else? You can ask them what their favorite sports teams are, or perhaps what they do when they are not at work?
