David Burkus on why small talk is worth your time

David Burkus has a new piece at Business Insider on "how that chatter you think is mindless can actually give you a step up in your career."

❝ Most people say they hate "small talk." Either because they feel they're bad at it, or they'd rather skip it and get to "big talk," many people look to avoid polite conversations about seemingly unimportant topics.

The best thing many people would say is that small talk is a necessary evil — a painful, but permanent, part of culture that demands we spend the first several minutes of a conversation discussing the weather or the events of the past week. [BusinessInsider.com]


DAVID BURKUS is a best-selling author, a sought after speaker, and associate professor of leadership and innovation at Oral Roberts University. Watch his TEDx talk on how to hack networking below, and learn more about booking David for your next event today.
