No Small Talk- Conversation Starters for Introverts

58. No Small Talk Conversation with Yemisi Odusanya | Conversation Starters for any Situation


Listen Later

Have you met someone and instantly felt a connection, like you just want to talk to them forever?!


Well that's how today's guest, Yemisi Odusanya, makes you feel when you're with her. She leads with authenticity,  curiosity, service and confidence and her energy quickly draws you in and makes it some easy to connect with her.  That's the type of connection we're drawn to and promote here on the podcast.

Our conversation starter today is: What are you most worried about in our country moving forward and what are you most optimistic about?

This conversation starter led to so many amazing topics such as struggling with raising our children in a safe environment where they can actually live and thrive yet keep them protected, the struggle with social media and the never ending battle with keeping a limit on screen time. (And yes - This turned into talking about setting boundaries for ourselves as adults!) That's important too! We discussed how COVID has rocked our world and going back to what will be our "new" normal. And then the optimism of having females in leadership roles, Nigerians in leadership roles, and how empowering it is for women, and especially, women of color to see.

As always, we touched on everything and walked away feeling inspired and oh so good!

Our conversation starters are designed to create more interesting and memorable social interactions.  The great thing about our conversation starters is that they start off with one basic question, but will prompt a back-and-forth exchange of ideas and lead to other interesting topics. Use them and watch your relationships grow stronger as you share your answers and listen to others.
