How To Make People Yap (Part 34)

Most people don't realize this. But people open up more when instead of following it. You'll never have surface level conversation again. Because most people follow the timeline of a story. Someone says I moved to Toronto, I started a new job. I met a lot of great people. And they asked what happened. Great conversation. Let's do something different. They interrupt the story the moment they hear something interesting. Almost didn't take that job. Don't let them keep talking. Stop them and you can ask. Wait. Someone says honestly, just can ask, why do you call those little moments are usually cracks in the story. That's usually where the story begins. Here's the shift. Don't listen to someone's story from beginning to end. Interrupt it when you hear an emotional shift. When they say I'll never forget when I never thought I would. Didn't expect that. You want to stop them and go over there because at the end of the day, people happy is about noticing the little that changed everything.
