Your Networking Problems – Solved! #3: ‘I’m shy and never know what to say’

Start by using Conversation Starters. A conversation starter is a question or comment that is used to initiate a conversation with someone. Conversation starters can be useful in a variety of settings, including social events, networking events, and even everyday interactions.

Some common conversation starters include:

1. Asking about the other person’s interests, hobbies, or work
2. Commenting on something interesting or unique about the person or the situation
3. Asking about the other person’s plans or goals for the future
4. Sharing something about yourself that might be of interest to the other person
5. Asking for the other person’s opinion on a particular topic

Conversation starters can be a helpful way to break the ice and get a conversation going, especially in situations where you don’t know the other person well. By using a conversation starter, you can show interest in the other person and encourage them to open up and engage in a conversation.
