Part of it must be that because the students able to “converse” in English are better able to demonstrate their personalities, preferences, thoughts… and therefore, I get to know them better. Often it is simply hilarious to see the range of answers students feel free to share in a comfortable environment.

But my friend's husband just kept talking - he's a great guy, but clearly did not pick up on any of my *yaawwwwwwwwwwwwns* as a signal to stop blabbing. Fortunately, I had recently read Mindy Kaling's book, Is Everyone Hanging Out Without Me, and learned all about the "Irish Exit."
How I Approach Strangers Without Being A Creep I'm at an event. I don't know anyone here. I'm standing by the food to make it look like I'm thinking about what to eat.

List of Conversation Topics One of the most frustrating things I have ever experienced around a girl, is if I and her run out of things to talk about.

The Ethics Imperative in Social Media I had the pleasure of addressing Steve Quigley’s Public Relations class at Boston University today, and as a bonus, I asked Todd Defren to be part of the conversation as well. Steve Quigley, I have to say, is turning out quite a crop of Boston’s social media up and comers. Between him and Professor Ed Downes, BU seems to be the college to beat in Boston for PR’s next wave of rockstars. We talked about a lot of things, from the ways in which traditional PR must thread with the new stuff, to the ways in which students will find themselves challenged in the coming months.
