The Art of Charm

710: The Art of Breaking the Ice


Listen Later

This episode kicks off The Art of Charm’s series on Breaking the Ice. After learning The Art of the First Impression - it’s time to dig into how to start engaging conversations that genuinely capture the other person’s interest.

AJ and Johnny walk us through how to devise a strategic plan to break the ice that we can practice and quiet self-doubt and anxious thoughts.

Beyond the social science, you’ll get to hear how AJ broke the ice with his girlfriend Amy, and how Johnny’s father broke the ice with unsuspecting hikers on the trail.

Cheat Sheet

  • Break the ice with banter - and no, we don’t mean a corny one liner
  • Learn how to ask a better question
  • Understand the importance of listening - and not just hearing
  • Take away a simple “Conversation Formula”
  • And more!

  • If you find yourself with questions, reach out! Tag us on social media @theartofcharm or leave us a voicemail at 1-855-ART-OF-CHARM. At the end of the month, we’ll be answering your questions on air with guest Chris Williams.
