Three Steps to Get out of Small Talk + Monthly Membership Now Open (+ Bonus Inside!)

Hello ,

For those of you in the U.S., Happy 4th of July! 🎉

And for everyone else, happy Friday from sunny Toronto, in its most vibrant season 🌿☀️

I’m writing with a simple tip to help you move beyond small talk and a heartfelt invitation to join me and deepen your skills in connection, communication, and emotional resilience. Happy reading! 😀

Tired of Small Talk?

Do you dread work or social events because of all the surface-level chit-chat?

Maybe you've even learned great questions to ask, but in the moment your mind goes blank?

Try this 3-step approach instead:

1. Notice something about the person in front of you: their tone, outfit, gestures, or something they’ve done or said recently.
2. Get genuinely curious and stay open, like a child discovering something new.
3. Ask an open-ended question that includes your observation and curiosity. (I made a quick video showing this in action, with examples! LinkedIn version here.)

This approach helps you drop out of your head and into the present moment, where real connection can happen. Let me know how it goes when you try it; I'd love to hear!
