“According to science, too much small talk robs us of not only more meaningful conversations, but also deeper levels of connection and happiness.”
– Jessica Stillman –

In our hyper-connected world, we’ve paradoxically mastered the art of saying nothing through endless small talk, robbing ourselves of the joy that meaningful connection brings. The TALK method (Topics, Asking questions, Levity, Kindness) offers a simple framework that transforms how we engage with colleagues and partners, creating moments of authentic connection that ripple through organizational culture. To learn how to apply this technique Check out Use This Harvard Professor’s TALK Method to Go From Boring Small Talk to Deep, Meaningful Conversations.

Stay safe. Stay healthy. Be strong. Lead well.
