CONVO QUEEN: Begin a conversation with a compliment

Ev

When talking to someone new, whether it’s at work or a party, a good way to start things off on the right foot is to offer a compliment--something you've learned about them that really impressed you.

Make sure it’s genuine, though (obviously), so you don't sound insincere.

It’s always a good idea to praise someone for an achievement or cool project they did, instead of how they look.
