When introducing people, don't throw out an unbaited hook and stand there grinning like a big clam, leaving the newlymets to flutter their fins and fish for a topic.When introducing people, simply add-on: Susan, I'd like to you meet John. John has a wonderful boat we took a trip on last summer. John, this is Susan Smith. Susan is editor in chief of Cleo magazine.
This gives Susan the opportunity to ask what kind of boat John has/ where the group went. It gives John an opening to discuss his love of writing. The conversation can then naturally expend to infinity.
