I can’t count the number of times I have been stumped about what to talk about when I meet someone new! Have YOU had a similar problem?
Well, I googled my way to a solution! I found 101 topics that people love to talk about. I can’t speak for you, but I think I found the mother lode of suggestions to get my “Topic-O-Meter” going the next time I meet a stranger, and for whatever reason, I feel the urge to “strike up a conversation”.
I’ll share a secret with you! My boss “volunteered” me to be an outreach “ambassador”. For new hires. I get to pitch the benefits of working for our firm! So, I figure that IF I can come up with an “icebreaker” for a topic, I may find my “extra duty as assigned” to be more tolerable!
