Well as usual, theres humor to the rescue!
Kick off a conversation with a joke or a funny
observation, and youll put everyone at ease.
Heres 3 subjects you can come prepared with
so that you can connect with those
unfamiliar people.

Horrible past jobs.
Yes, weve all had past jobs that are BAD. Just
look at my bad job contest videos (click
here and scroll to the bottom) for a sampling
of what people have done to make a buck. My
worst job was wayyy back when telemarketing
was in its infancy and I had NO IDEA what it
was hey, it had the word marketing in it.
. .so I applied, and shocker, I was hired. So
for a little while, I actually sold SIDES OF
BEEF OVER THE TELEPHONE. And as my joke
goes, I lasted 6 hours, which gave me
seniority! So dig through your memory
roladex (is that even a word) and find a past
job thats pretty awful. . . then make a crack
about it at your spouses holiday party. Youll
get lots of people chiming in, I guarantee,
and soon youll have lots of friends.

Unusual Vacations.
This is a good all around topic because you
can always ask someone where theyre going
for vacation, and then launch into a quip
about an usual vacation youve had. My
family vacation bit about our family of 6
driving cross-country on vacation (Click here
to see the 2 min. clip) gets a lot of aha
moments from the audience because many of
us baby boomers did one of those vacations
too!

Holidays gone bad.
Most holidays go great, but sometimes theres
the unexpected the fire department shows
up to put out the turkey or grandpas luggage
was stolen at the airport (that happened!).
Dredge up some interesting holiday stores
and youll entertain AND connect with others
in the group. This is an easy subject to get
into because, hey, youre at a holiday party!
And if you dont have a bad party story of
your own, just turn on the news. . .right
about now, theyre starting to report on goofy
things people do to hurt themselves in
preparation for the celebration.

Horrible jobs, unusual vacations and holidays gone bad are great subjects for
humor AND the cool thing is, they build on
each other and create a quick connection to
make you memorable. So give some thought
to those subjects before heading out into the
unknown holiday party! Watch this video to
