"Monthly Manners" Tips for This Month from Shannon Smith!!

A few hot tips of “Mastering Small Talk”.

1. Prepare an interesting opening line to begin a conversation – be entertaining no educating. Keep the conversation light, airy and effervescent. If eye’s glaze over, switch the subject or throw the ball in their court.

2. Think before you speak. Don’t respond too quickly – commonly made mistakes in conversation are caused by people who don’t put their brain in gear before opening their mouth.
