What if we approached conversations more slowly? Not because we need to say something or risk seeming rude. Instead with feeling, deep thought, care, and a purpose-driven approach.

Small Talk: The Social Standard

Small talk is safe. It comes in many varieties from shallow to carefully inquisitive and generally lacks depth. It can be a social obligation, a character test, and a follow-up to introductions.

Deep Talk: What Most People Actually Want

Deep talk is about exploring ideas, creative thoughts, observations, and digging into meaningful subjects. Listening is equally important. Bonus points if you are willing to change your mind based on new information.

Having More Deep Conversations

Having a conversation that cuts through the bullshit is refreshing. It requires vulnerability, openness, honesty, and motivation to connect. You will not always be ready for these conversations but when they happen take the time and be present.

You'll be glad you did.
