HEFE and FORD Methods to Start a Conversation

Greetings all!

The holiday season is upon us! And this means holiday gatherings – and small talk! – with family, friends, colleagues, and strangers. 

My favorite conversation starters are food, books, and travel. And, of course, it is always nice to give compliments! Just be kind, sincere, and genuinely curious!

If you ever struggle with initiating a conversation, especially with strangers, here are 2 low-stakes methods to help you ease into small talk!

HEFE:

H – Hobbies

E – Entertainment

F – Food

E – Environment (your immediate surroundings, not climate change as it might be too heavy of a topic for a holiday party!) 

FORD:

F – Family

O – Occupation

R – Recreation

D – Dreams

What did you think? Drop me a line!
