Getting to the big stuff

Talk is cheap...but very valuable

Garner big gains with a little talking

In safe situations, make it a point to talk to strangers

Introduce yourself

Silence is impolite

Good things come to those who go get them!

It's up to you to start a conversation

It's up to you to assume the burden of conversation

What's in a name?

Nix the nicknames

It's better to give than to receive

Easy operners

Breaking in is hard to do

Party of five

It's all in the asking

Digging deeper

Free for the taking

Fake it till you make it

Listening is seen, not just heard

Verbalize your listenings

Stating the obvious

Mental listening skills

Don't let old acquaintances be forgotten

Getting a history lesson

Preparing for the long haul

The nonverbal part of the conversation

Ordinary people

Limelight etiquette

Playing foursquare

The perfect complement

Adding form and substance

The march of progress
