What is your favorite icebreaker to get a conversation started?

Smile and ask something very light that a person will feel comfortable talking about. Crack the ice and then discuss ideas and learn what interests both.

I love asking, "What's the most interesting thing you've learned recently?" It sparks curiosity and often leads to fascinating discussions!

I love asking, "If you could have dinner with any three people, dead or alive, who would they be?" It always sparks interesting and personal conversations!

Normal greetings paired with a question. There's a technique in psychology called "Foot in the door" - https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fo...

Mostly I start with introducing myself and asking him/ her what he does and where are they from

Breaking the ice with a classic like "If you were a tech gadget, what would you be?" is always a fun way to spark a conversation and reveal some interesting insights!

Usually talk about the city we're on, talking about the weather, what to do on each city... Sometimes I try to be more "funny" and I don't hesitate to invent some stuff, as an anecdote. This can be: my coffe have just fell on my new shirt and I have to wash it right now.

Anything exciting happened this week? or asking about movies or music.

I start with, ""What's the best trip you've ever been on?"" What do you ask?

I ask, ""How do you like to spend a day off?"" It always gets good answers. What's your go-to?

Hey, don't you think this is getting too formal?

My favorite icebreaker to initiate a conversation is asking about someone's recent travels or favorite destinations. It's a topic that usually sparks enthusiasm and allows people to share personal experiences, cultural insights, and often leads to interesting anecdotes or recommendations. Travel is a universal interest that transcends backgrounds and professions, making it a great way to connect and learn something new about the person you're speaking with.
