Remember, the way you choose to start the conversation will set the tone. We know you’re ready, but sometimes it helps to have some ideas of what to say to break the ice. Depending on who you’re talking with, and the specific conversation you’ll have, if it feels appropriate you could try infusing humor. If that doesn’t feel appropriate, sometimes focusing on research, and communicating your experiences sincerely can be the best approach. Check out some of these options below, and consider personalizing them for your conversation.
