The “Lately” Technique

Struggling to turn small talk into something meaningful? In this video, we introduce The "Lately" Technique—a simple but powerful way to dig a little deeper and create real connection. Instead of letting generic answers like “fine” or “busy” end the conversation, you’ll learn how to gently follow up with, “What’s been going fine lately?” or “What’s been keeping you busy lately?”

These subtle prompts help uncover personal updates, professional insights, and even potential business opportunities—all while keeping the conversation natural and engaging.
