The prompt

Help me get better at small talk at a networking event. Event: [e.g. an industry meetup / a conference / a wedding where I know few people / my new office's party] My role and what I'd like out of it: [ ] What I find hard: [starting, keeping it going, leaving politely, remembering names] Give me: 1. 10 opening lines that fit this event, natural and not cheesy. 2. 10 follow-up questions that go a level deeper than 'What do you do?'. 3. How to share about myself in 2-3 sentences without sounding rehearsed. 4. 4 polite ways to end a conversation and move on. 5. How to follow up afterwards (LinkedIn message under 50 words). Then offer a quick practice: you play a stranger at the event, I start the conversation, and you give feedback after 6 exchanges.
