Let’s face it—starting a conversation can be awkward. Whether you’re meeting someone new or reconnecting with a familiar face, those first few words can make or break the vibe. But with the right spark, small talk can quickly turn into something way more meaningful—and way more fun.
The secret? Ditch the tired “What do you do?” and go for something a little more unexpected, curious, or playful. Great conversation starters invite stories, laughs, and “Me too!” moments. They crack open the door to connection and help people show up as their real selves.
Try things like, “What’s something that’s been making you smile lately?” or “If you could teleport anywhere right now, where would you go?” Even simple questions like “What’s a weird talent you have?” can kick off surprisingly deep (or hilarious) conversations.
At Conexus, we’re all about making it easier to go beyond surface-level small talk. Because the best connections start with just one good question—and a little curiosity.
