Many people struggle with ice breakers and so called 'small' talk. Making meaningful conversation and talking about yourself can be painfully stressful and awkward. You know that keeping your head in your phone, trading canned elevator pitches, and talking about the weather will not help you build strategic connections to get ahead. You also know that making the most of your time and energy at conferences is critical, and will help you succeed.
