Episode notes
Start With Who You Both Know
- When introduced, ask who they know here to start the conversation and reduce awkwardness.
- Use a smile, handshake, or hug based on context and mirror the group's greeting.
Commit To The Greeting
- Commit to a greeting instead of hesitating to avoid awkward misses like missed handshakes.
- Match the group's gendered greeting style (dap, hug, handshake) to fit in quickly.
Use Compliments As Conversation Starters
- Open with a simple compliment (glasses, outfit) to create an easy segue into conversation.
- Follow their response to find shared details and keep the chat flowing.
