How to break the ice with people you don't know

THE PRESENTATIONS
Introduce yourself with a smile, a few words, and make sure you look them in the eye. Remember their names and use them when addressing them. Be the host with other people: introducing them and saying where they work, what they do… you will become the leader
of the meeting. Introduce yourself by name, without forgetting to say where you work, even if you are going to talk to someone you already know from another time. Even though you remember his, he may have forgotten your name. This way you avoid a moment of tension and that he is so focused on remembering your name that he does not pay attention to what you say.

INTRODUCE THE CONVERSATION WELL
If you make any kind of statement, like What a good conference! you may be left without an answer. Accompany these expressions with a question: What did you like the most?

HOW TO KEEP THE CONVERSATION
Replace non-conversational questions like What do you do? by others that do incite to speak. To ask open questions, use expressions such as: Describe me… Tell me about your work How did you do to…? What do you think about it…? Why…?

MAKE THE OTHER FEEL COMFORTABLE WITH US
Use non-verbal language appropriately. You should look the other person in the eye so that they feel that you are paying attention, but without exaggerating. Some people may find it a bit uncomfortable to stare at them for a long time. Try to change the point of attention by focusing in the middle of their eyes. Verbalize your listening. Just as important as knowing what to say is showing the other that we really care about what they are saying. Ask questions,
