Genuine curiosity beats fake small talk every time.

Ask questions you truly want answered.

Skip "how's your day" & notice real details.

People sense authenticity & respond warmly.

Build stronger connections fast this way.

Want people to like you more? Drop the scripted small talk.

Genuine charisma starts with real curiosity about others.

Instead of asking "how's your day" observe something specific.

Notice their unique shoes, sweater, book or habit.

Ask a question you actually care about like "Why do you always wear those bright red shoes?"

Or "What's the story behind that book you carry?"

When your interest is authentic they feel it & open up.

This builds trust & likability way faster than forced chit-chat.

People love talking to someone who truly wants to know them.

Try it today with one coworker or client.

Assignment for the day:
Spot one genuine detail about someone around you & ask a real curious question about it.
