1. American comedian Kin Hubbard would say, "Don’t knock the weather. If it didn’t change, nine out of ten people wouldn’t be able to start a conversation. " He has a point. After all, how many of us can say that we have never had to mention how hot, cold, or wet it is just to get out of an embarrassing silence?
2. Of course, the weather is not the only thing we chat about when we make small talks in the office or in public. The shocking state of public transport, last night’s TV, even David Beckham’s latest hairdo are all favorite topics for passing the time with workmates. Still, although it is easy to laugh at small talks for being trite and pointless. In fact, it is more important than you think, according to the experts.
3. Many people find small talks painful, but their absence can be equally unsettling. Amy Leonard discovered this when she took a summer job as a temporary receptionist at a swimming pool. "One of the people I had to work with hardly ever said anything," she explains. "She wasn’t shy, she just didn’t speak. I used to try and start conversations but she wouldn’t talk back. In the end, the two of us used to sit there in silence. She didn’t seem to notice anything that was wrong but for me it was awful. " 4. Colleagues who don’t chat can come across as arrogant, says Lesley Everett, a consultant who advises people on how to behave in their personal and professional lives. "In some ways, it’s worse if a woman doesn’t make small talks. We expect men to find it more difficult," she says. "But small talks are very important. They’re about creating a good first impression and building relationships."
5. For those who find small talks difficult, Lesley says a smile and lots of eye contact are a good way to get other people to speak to you first. "People like talking about themselves, so if you can remember anything about someone from the last time you met — where they went on holiday or whatever — bring it up," she says. It’s also important to read the papers. You can always talk about something you read that day. Steer clear of politics or racism. You don’t know if you’ll offend the other person.
