Tier 3 · Module 01
Conversational Threading
Lead the conversation where you want it to go.
Why it matters
Every conversation is full of threads: small hooks, mentions and details that could take it somewhere new. Most people never notice them.
This module teaches you to drop threads deliberately while you speak, and to pull the right ones, so the conversation goes where you want it to without anyone feeling led. It builds on Small Talk into Conversation from Tier 1.
Activities
Four activities, practised until they're yours.
Thread Spotting
Listen to conversations and catch every possible thread: names, places, feelings and passing mentions.
Dropping Threads
Plant hooks in what you say so others ask about the things you want to talk about.
Pulling Threads
Pick the thread that leads where you want to go, and follow it naturally.
Full Steering
Start from a random topic and reach a destination you chose in advance, smoothly, subtly and with impact.
