Become the most interesting person in the room

Small talk won’t make you memorable and may even leave your brand feeling stale. The art of engaging people is easier than you might think.

Refresh your ice-breaker questions in a way that builds momentum. Start with broad, open-ended questions like “What’s your story?” or “What excites you right now?” These will encourage the person to share what is on their mind and open up deeper connections.
