Brought to you by the 23 00:01:25,680 --> 00:01:34,279 Speaker 1: United States Forest Service and the AD Council. Good morning, 24 00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:38,880 Speaker 1: This is Laura. Welcome to the New Corner Office, the 25 00:01:38,959 --> 00:01:41,959 Speaker 1: podcast where we share strategies for thriving in the new 26 00:01:41,959 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: world of work, where location and ours are more flexible 27 00:01:46,160 --> 00:01:49,720 Speaker 1: than in the past. Today's tip is to recognize the 28 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:54,360 Speaker 1: value of small talk, because small talk makes a big impact. 29 00:01:55,760 --> 00:01:59,160 Speaker 1: If you're a task oriented person like me, you may 30 00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:02,920 Speaker 1: be inclined to minimize chit chat while you're working. You 31 00:02:02,960 --> 00:02:06,920 Speaker 1: want to be productive and get your job done. Productivity 32 00:02:06,960 --> 00:02:10,600 Speaker 1: is definitely a good thing, but as I've often said, 33 00:02:11,240 --> 00:02:15,720 Speaker 1: people are a good use of time. Don't underestimate the 34 00:02:15,840 --> 00:02:21,280 Speaker 1: value of seemingly unproductive interactions at work. Relationships with people 35 00:02:21,360 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: in and beyond our organizations are vital to our professional success, 36 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: and small talk smooth the way for deeper connection. Being 37 00:02:30,440 --> 00:02:33,280 Speaker 1: good at small talk means being ready to talk about 38 00:02:33,360 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 1: something besides the coronavirus, working from home, or the weather. 39 00:02:38,960 --> 00:02:42,520 Speaker 1: Please no more with the weather. You want to aim 40 00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:46,200 Speaker 1: for topics that, while light, are interesting and can help 41 00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:51,040 Speaker 1: you and your conversation partner. Find common ground for starters. 42 00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:55,160 Speaker 1: Stay on top of pop culture and sports, at least 43 00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: to the extent that you can be an engaged listener. 44 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:01,040 Speaker 1: No name that's on the cover of magazine should be 45 00:03:01,280 --> 00:03:05,680 Speaker 1: entirely unfamiliar. As for sports, yes, it's hard to follow 46 00:03:05,800 --> 00:03:08,680 Speaker 1: much right now, but in the future you should know 47 00:03:08,720 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: whether the college and proteins in your area are having 48 00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:15,520 Speaker 1: a good or disappointing season. It helps to scan the 49 00:03:15,560 --> 00:03:18,040 Speaker 1: sports headlines of your local paper and look at the 50 00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:20,800 Speaker 1: covers of magazines. Maybe while you're waiting in line at 51 00:03:20,800 --> 00:03:24,280 Speaker 1: the grocery store. When someone brings up a pop culture 52 00:03:24,320 --> 00:03:27,000 Speaker 1: topic that you're unfamiliar with, see it as a chance 53 00:03:27,040 --> 00:03:30,760 Speaker 1: to learn. No, I haven't watched Tiger King, but I 54 00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: keep hearing about it. What do you think makes it 55 00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:36,640 Speaker 1: so compelling? Or it sounds like you're an Eagles fan? 56 00:03:36,880 --> 00:03:40,520 Speaker 1: When did you first start following them? Questions like these 57 00:03:40,640 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: keep the conversation flowing and the relationship growing, and who knows, 58 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,800 Speaker 1: you might get some ideas about ways you'd like to 59 00:03:47,840 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 1: spend some of your free time. In the process. Also, 60 00:03:51,440 --> 00:03:54,480 Speaker 1: be ready to share what you're interested in outside of work. 61 00:03:55,320 --> 00:03:58,920 Speaker 1: This means that Yep, you need some interest outside of work. 62 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,680 Speaker 1: It doesn't have to be training for a marathon, though 63 00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,640 Speaker 1: it could be. You can also talk about a project 64 00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 1: in your yard, your sour dough starter, the book you 65 00:04:07,720 --> 00:04:11,040 Speaker 1: just read for a book club, whatever. Ideally, you have 66 00:04:11,120 --> 00:04:14,280 Speaker 1: a few things, so if one line of conversation doesn't 67 00:04:14,280 --> 00:04:16,880 Speaker 1: pan out, you've got another to try with the person 68 00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:21,080 Speaker 1: who asked so nicely, what's keeping you busy. It can 69 00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:24,600 Speaker 1: also be helpful to collect good news. Maybe it's the 70 00:04:24,720 --> 00:04:27,440 Speaker 1: valedictorian in your city who used to be homeless and 71 00:04:27,480 --> 00:04:30,279 Speaker 1: it is now headed to Stanford, or your son learning 72 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,040 Speaker 1: to ride his bike last weekend. Maybe it's the new 73 00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,760 Speaker 1: restaurant in your neighborhood that opened during the pandemic and 74 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,120 Speaker 1: yet still has a line around the block for takeout 75 00:04:38,200 --> 00:04:42,000 Speaker 1: orders every evening. Prepare yourself to share stories that will 76 00:04:42,040 --> 00:04:45,520 Speaker 1: lift people's spirits. You might start taking notes of these 77 00:04:45,720 --> 00:04:49,960 Speaker 1: while perusing headlines. Small talk helps us connect with each 78 00:04:49,960 --> 00:04:53,760 Speaker 1: other and enjoy our common life together. And yes, it 79 00:04:53,839 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: can be tedious. I get that it's not natural for 80 00:04:56,880 --> 00:05:00,800 Speaker 1: me either. But like most things, small talk is a 81 00:05:00,920 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 1: skill you can consciously work to get better at it, 82 00:05:05,160 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: and when you do you will find that small talk 83 00:05:08,160 --> 00:05:14,560 Speaker 1: is magically much less tedious. Imagine that what are your 84 00:05:14,600 --> 00:05:17,279 Speaker 1: go to topics for small talk? You can let me 85 00:05:17,360 --> 00:05:21,960 Speaker 1: know at Laura at Laura Vanderkam dot com. In the meantime, 86 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:26,159 Speaker 1: this is Laura.
