Why Small Talk is Important:

Small talk is a highly valuable skill in the business world, but it’s often overlooked. It’s actually fundamental to achieving career success because it helps you to:

01.

Build Strong Relationships

Engaging in small talk with colleagues, managers, and other leaders can have a big impact on your career success. By showing an interest in their lives beyond work-related topics, you can build strong relationships that lead to better teamwork, collaboration, and support. Building a rapport with senior leaders can also open doors to career opportunities and mentorship, helping you grow and develop in your career.

02.

Leave Good impressions

Small talk is the foundation of making a lasting impression with your colleagues, clients, and business partners. When you leave a good impression, people are more likely to remember you positively and to want to work with you or maintain a relationship with you, which is crucial in business settings.

03.

Network Successfully

Small talk is a vital part of networking. Engaging in small talk with new people helps you make connections, find common ground, and build relationships that may lead to future business opportunities. By being able to make meaningful small talk, you’ll be able to expand your network and increase your chances of finding new opportunities for you and your company.

Why have you been learning English for so many years but still struggle with small talk?

It’s not because your English isn’t good enough – even native English speakers need to work on their small talk skills.

Simply practising English every day won’t necessarily improve your small talk skills.

Instead, it’s important to follow the right approach:

The 3-step method, which teaches you how to start, continue, and end small talk conversations, can help you build stronger relationships at work that lead to better career opportunities.

Scenario-based learning enables you to practice real-life situations that mirror the conversations you’re likely to have in professional and social settings.

This approach increases learning retention and leads to greater confidence in applying new skills.

Combining the 3-step method with scenario-based learning is the most effective strategy for making confident small talk.

“I simply confirm Derek keeps his promise point by point. I do feel more confident, I do use a wider variety of phrases and understand people using such phrases much better, I feel I speak much more fluently during small talk. This has helped me to connect with people from everywhere in the world, many of them coming from English speaking countries.”

Martin

Head of Supply Chain Management based in Vietnam

“I chose Derek’s course because I needed to become more confident whilst talking to foreign colleagues and clients. I really enjoyed the course and its structure, as there are various modules related to different real-life scenarios that have helped me a lot. Thanks to Derek, I got the chance to learn new expressions and idioms that I’ll use every day on my job. I recommend this course to anyone who struggles with making small talk in English”

Adele

Consultant from Italy

“I’ve noticed that my fluency has improved, and I’m no longer afraid of awkward silences because now I know how to keep the conversation going with colleagues. I highly recommend Derek’s course!”
