In Turning Small Talk into Big Talk, Jan Janura helps readers move
below the surface and experience deep, meaningful conversations that are
not only interesting, but even life-changing.
Small talk is awful, awkward, and ultimately useless--and everyone
knows it.
When is the last time you had a significant conversation with your
spouse, your kids, your best friend, your neighbor, or a close business
associate?
No, not small talk. We do enough of that with our fingers in five-word
text "conversations" or in dull, surface-level, face-to-face
interactions. Small talk isn't getting us anywhere. What we need today
more than ever is "Big Talk," real conversations in which we dig deep
into our souls and discuss intriguing topics that truly shape the world
and impact our daily lives.
Conversation is undoubtedly the most important part of a relationship,
whether it's business, personal, or spiritual. It's the only way to
truly get to know someone, and it's the best method in strengthening
your bond with a business partner, spouse, friends, your children, and
even God.
Each of us wants to interact with others, and all of us want to be
heard. The conversations we each have can truly change the world--or
destroy it--and the words, questions, and answers each of us use (or
don't use) can alter our own life and the lives of everyone around us.
So, why wouldn't we choose to make our conversations as impactful and
memorable as we can?
In Turning Small Talk into Big Talk, Jan Janura unpacks the simple,
easy-to-apply method he's used throughout his career to turn dinner
parties and other gatherings into fun, interesting, sometimes life- and
career-changing experiences. If you find yourself desperate for deeper
connection in your most important relationships, or if you find yourself
responsible for regularly hosting clients or co-workers, this book is
the missing tool in your tackle box!
