Top 10 Rules for Small Talks

1. Talk slowly and emphaize your words. Exercise by recording yourself with the recorder - even if at the beginning you may be shocked by how your voice sounds - different than how you think it is; or let the recorder running, while you're chatting with your friends. This way you'll found out the way you're socializing.

2. Exercise the tonality you use for the typical phrases. For example: "I'm not lying!", "I never said something like that!", "What do you mean by that?","I won't agree with you on that."

3. Don' t let yourself overwhelm by others, but try to discover the best catch lines to attack them. Even using common words, but pronounced in different ways, can be interesting.

4. Don' t get stuck if you said something you shouldn' t have! Continue arguing as if nothing had happened, or start laughing if others do so.

5. Someone took offence and you haven' t noticed? Then just say: "I'm sorry, I didn' t meant to hurt you by saying that." And avoid insisting on the theme, because you'll only make things worst.

6. Breathe normally, without getting fussy while you're telling a story, so it won't sound like a statement.

7. Stay calm, and be the first who says : "I'm glad to see you again! How's it going?"- "Thanks for making some time to meet!"- "I don' t like to interrupt you, but..."

8. Don't discuss your private problems with your job colleagues and don't tackle job problems in your private life. You're risking destroy the harmony if you mix them up.

9. Avoid making too many compliments and use a kind language: "Thank you!". Avoid telling something like: "Really? You think I'm looking good?"

10. Don't forget: men are rational, women are emotional. We can say: men are approaching directly the problem, meanwhile women are making detours- that's why it happens that we are not taken seriously. So be with one step ahead from the very beginning.
