[049] How to Talk to Anyone in Business

The Leadership Pod

How to talk to anyone in business is the topic of this week’s podcast episode. Many young professionals, emerging leaders and introverts hold back from talking to new people in business. They don’t know how to start a conversation with somebody new. They don’t know what to say or what questions to ask.

In business, it’s really important to develop relationships with people. If you can’t start conversations with new people then you won’t be able to develop relationships.

In order to develop new relationships in business, you need to know how to start conversations with people and start talking to anyone in business.

• How to start with a non-threatening question.
