Tip 3 in “Relax and Connect” is learn to ask open-ended questions.
“The art of conversation lies in listening.”
– Malcom Forbes
Do you feel worried about what to say? Don’t worry, you’ll figure out what to say later. By asking good open-ended questions, you can relax and listen. Listening is half of communication. Some people would say more than half. Practice deeply listening in order to understand, rather than focusing on how you will reply. Then you are engaging in a meaningful conversation.

What. . . ?
How do you. .. . ?
What do you think about. . . .?
What happened. . . ,?
What did you. . . ?
What would you. . . ?
