The Trick That Makes Conversations Flow Naturally

Most people think keeping a conversation going means asking more questions. But there's another skill you need: branching. When you're talking, don't give short answers that leave the other person with nothing to work with. Give them small details, stories, opinions, or experiences that they can naturally pick up on and ask about. And do the same when they're talking to you. That's how conversations start feeling less like an interview and more like an actual back-and-forth. Try it in your next conversation.
