Wow! I always thought of buzzwords/phrases being used when pitching clients/media but not in normal, everyday, personal conversations. If everyone resorts to using buzzwords in everyday convos, no real networking/relationships will ever develop.

Great story and I have always done what Lisa Gerber said, tell your story and make it short. To add one thing would be when done with your short story would be is be a good
listener.

I do think it should be brief. You can lose a person in 30 seconds so it’d better be good. I always liken this to going to a social event with my husband, who does politics for a living. Suddenly one of the three things you’re not supposed to talk about socially becomes acceptable because it’s what he does and people are always interested. So I have to be even more interesting when they FINALLY ask me what I do or they inevitably listen politely and then go back to him. So brief and interesting (I make it easier for you to have dinner with your family every night) works the best.

Brilliant post. Wouldn’t the answer change with who you’re talking to? It’s a framing issue: What images do you want to evoke in the minds of the person with whom your talking so she wants to keep the conversation going. Regardless, do you agree it should be brief?

Love your writing Gini!
