There unlimited ways and means which can make your conversation a real success but important tips are given below:

 

-The most important thing to consider when communicating and what I will call the Golden Rule, is to *Be Friendly. Being friendly includes coming across as a relaxed and sociable person who enjoys conversation. It’s important to develop a friendly vibe through working on non-verbal communication. It’s important to focus on: Smiling and holding eye contact, relaxing your body and breathing, and keeping an open posture that is not threatening.

- It’s important to listen carefully…conversation is50 percent listening and50 percent talking. Remember to keep your ears open.

- While talking, be genuinely curious and engaged in the other person’s ideas. Your curiosity may come through as the way you ask questions and engage in eye contact and give non-verbal feedback through head nod, etc.

- Ways to start a conversation are to ask big open-ended questions that require the person you are talking to, to answer authentically. Put your real interests forward and share your view, reflect on your honest interests and ask more than just typical questions with ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers.

- A great conversation starter and effective ice breaker questions can be anything related to pets, growing up, family, items they own, day-to-day activities, extracurricular activities, vacations/relaxation activities, learned skills, etc.

Conversation is a form of communication; however, it is usually more spontaneous and less formal. We enter conversations for purposes of pleasant engagement in order to meet new people, to find out information and to enjoy social interactions.

During conversation, ensure there is a balance of give and take. A conversation can get boring quickly if one person is doing all the talking while the other is trying to get a word in edgewise. When that happens whoever is not talking begins to tune out and there is no conversation.

The art of conversation, like any skill, takes practice. Do not expect to be adept after your first few attempts. It will take practice as well as exposure to many different social situations. A good way to get practice before you venture out to an event is with family members and people you are comfortable with. They can give you helpful and supportive feedback, which in turn, gives you something to work on.
