Share knowledge from "summary" of How to Be Witty: the Ultimate Guide to Becoming More Clever, Charming, and Engaging with People by Clayton Geoffreys

One of the most powerful strategies to help yourself become more engaging, clever and charming is to share knowledge. Every day, we have the opportunity to learn something new, and this type of learning comes even in conversations - find the courage to talk about something you know and you'll be surprised how quickly that knowledge gets shared.

Sharing information with others also strengthens the bonds we have between each other. It keeps us connected and helps build a deeper understanding of one another. When you come across an interesting tidbit of knowledge, why not tell someone? Trivia can make for great conversation starters too!

Showing your appreciation for other people's expertise by actively listening and being curious will take you (and them) far. Drawing out what they know encourages creative problem solving, collaboration and honesty, so never be afraid to broaden discussions and ask questions.

But don't forget to practise self-reflection as well. When you have a chance to think deeply and ponder what you’ve learned, make sure you actually do it. This helps sharpen and refine insights and creates space to grow upon existing knowledge.

We naturally like stories and talking about our experiences. Do you have a personal anecdote or meaningful example that can contextualize facts for everyone? Add it as part of the discussion and watch others connect through storytelling.

Lastly, remember to appreciate others for their efforts. Recognizing the contributions of those around us shows respect and encourages more positive interactions; it gives us purpose and motivation to keep learning and taking note of things we encounter along the way.
