I facilitated an 8 hour new hire orientation for many years. As a way to see they were back from break I would ask these fun questions. If you could be an extra in any TV show or movie (new or old) what would it be? And what was your favorite cereal growing up? And then later in the day after lunch I would ask… What is your favorite dessert? Do you make it yourself? If not where do you buy it from? These questions always got the class talking! And I would have them explain their answer as a way to help them feel more comfortable in front of the group. And of course people like talking about themselves!

I love these!

So glad u mentioned the Hello! how you? How's your day bit 😀 I've thought its rude not to say hi, recently I've noticed a few social groups, they just started with what they want to say. My understanding was , if you haven't seen someone or depending on age or if it's a business connection, the formal format is the Hi how are you approach..it kinda feels to me like the door of communication is open all the time as if you no longer saying hello and goodbye , Happy to come across this video ❤

Awesome vanessa !!!!

[@ScienceOfPeople]

Thank you!!

[@e.m.8094]

If I started texting like this, my friends would wonder what's wrong with me. LOL

[@readerboot108]

That's what I thought

[@ScienceOfPeople]

Tell them you're trying something new =)

[@eugenetswong]

Hi, Vanessa. Have you read Emily Post's book about etiquette? I think that your social tips should go in there. Maybe you could collaborate with her descendants, who still update the book.

[@njaneardude]

I'm going to use some of these on my STBX. She'll love em' 😂

[@glorykaufman]

Love this.. And totally unrelated but I love your hair

[@ScienceOfPeople]

Why thank you!

[@tjbroussard3524]

I still think texting is horrible 😂😂😂

[@e.m.8094]

Personally, I like it waaaay better than talking on the phone.

[@tjbroussard3524]

@@e.m.8094 I'm the opposite. Text is more like holding a conversation with the caricature of the person in your head. Something gets lost in that.

I hate it when people put me on a thread and talk about nothing good.

[@UnconventionalReasoning]

If a texting conversation starts, I break my phone so I can end it as quickly as possible!

Hey there. Im using WhatsApp.

[@tracy3812]

I’ve been told (repeatedly) that I talk too much. These are great, but oops! rambling.

[@ScienceOfPeople]

That's ok! Maybe these will help steer your conversations in different directions =)

[@bevant9218]

The best text starter would be “have you got time for a quick phone call?”
