Ask open-ended questions: Start your questions with how, what, or why to encourage the other person to provide more detailed answers. For example, ask them about their recent vacation and say, How was that for you? Embrace silence: Instead of panicking and trying to fill the silence with random chatter, embrace it and take a breath. If the conversation has reached a natural end, it's okay to say goodbye and move on. Use the phrase "With no segway whatsoever" when you want to transition to a new topic, use this phrase followed by the topic you want to discuss. Pay attention to body language and nonverbal cues: Your posture, facial expressions, and tone of voice play a significant role in keeping conversations engaging. Make sure you appear approachable and friendly by maintaining a positive and open demeanor.
