If you have not done so, please watch the video "10 ways to have a better conversation" by Celeste Headlee.

Growing up, I considered myself an introvert, and talking to strangers was not my thing. I have worked hard to go beyond shyness or laziness when striking up conversations. And while I have come a long way and can talk to anyone (it's straightforward too to be a new person since I'm new to the area!), I still feel myself slipping back and having to push myself.

Try some of the things discussed in the video. How did that work out for you? Or if you cannot try one or more of these ten things, what have you done in the past when starting conversations? What are some key takeaways from the video? What do you plan on doing differently in the future?

As always, I'd like your take on how this concept of conversations relates to marketing.
