Smile and maintain eye contact from "summary" of Small Talk - You Can Do It by Betty Bohm
When engaging in small talk, it is important to convey warmth and friendliness through your nonverbal communication. One effective way to do this is by smiling and maintaining eye contact. Your smile can instantly put the other person at ease and signal that you are approachable and friendly. It shows that you are interested in the conversation and open to connecting with the other person.
Eye contact is another crucial aspect of nonverbal communication. By maintaining eye contact, you demonstrate that you are attentive and engaged in the conversation. It shows that you are interested in what the other person is saying and that you value their presence. Eye contact can also help establish a sense of trust and rapport with the other person, making them feel more comfortable and at ease.
When you combine a smile with eye contact, you create a powerful nonverbal signal that conveys warmth, friendliness, and attentiveness. This can help to establish a positive and welcoming atmosphere for small talk conversations. It can also help you to build rapport and connect with the other person on a deeper level.
It is important to remember that nonverbal communication can have a significant impact on the success of your small talk interactions. By paying attention to your body language, facial expressions, and eye contact, you can create a positive and inviting atmosphere for conversation. So, the next time you engage in small talk, remember to smile and maintain eye contact to make a great first impression and foster a connection with the other person.
