Scenario

Make Small Talk at a Networking Event

Small talk is not small - it is the start of every professional relationship. Learn the Open → Bridge → Invite framework to start conversations naturally, keep them going, and exit gracefully - even if you are an introvert.

Goal

Walk into a networking event and start a conversation that feels natural, not forced. Open with a simple observation, bridge to a real question, and invite the other person to share - then exit gracefully when it is time.

Framework

Hook → Proof → Pivot
