At different events, we often get stuck at the end of the table with people we barely know for over 2 hours! These situations apply to certain family events, business dinners, and celebrations of all kinds, and it causes us to say, “Oh no, another dinner event – you know I hate these things.” Actually, these events can be Opportunity knocking and this is our chance to shine.
Even for our extroverted side, events to support a family member can be hard when we don’t know anybody. We aren’t going to be the “life” of the party – verbally or visually. And to be curious about others helps shape conversations and bring a unique perspective, creating a comfortable environment. That’s positive leadership.
Try these questions as conversation starters for the next event you attend. They can even be used as icebreakers to kick-off a meeting. You will quickly become the favored guest!
