10 Ways to be the most memorable person in the room
These conversation starters can help spark interesting, deep and memorable conversation with anyone.
IF you are a shy person, or just struggle to talk to people, then these little tips, suggested on thescienceofpeople website, may be of great use.
One of the most important things to remember is that, generally, people like to talk about themselves, or their families.
That doesn’t mean you must ask them all of the questions at the same time – they could feel like it’s an interrogation.
One thing not to try is … “So, where are you from?”
Rather, try these (in no particular order):
1. What’s your story?
2. What personal passion project are you working on right now?
3. Working on anything exciting lately?
4. How do you know the host?
5. Have you been to an event like this before?

6. What was the highlight of your day today?
7. What was the highlight of your week?
8. What was the high-point and low-point of your day so far?
9. Is this your busy season?
10. Is this a busy time for you?
These will be guaranteed to get things going a little.
From there it’s easy to keep things going by asking more questions as the conversation progresses.
