Quote by Susan C. Young

“Being a conversational chameleon allows you to do that. One day I may be speaking to the CEO of a global company and the next to my four-year-old nephew.

With only fifteen to twenty minutes to spare, he has no choice but to use the gift of gab to connect quickly. He said, “Small talk is easier than big talk, especially with someone you do not know.

Similarly, social synchronicity plays a large role in the art of constructive communication by helping us understand how social patterns can positively impact our relationships.”
