Would you mind sharing a few examples of specific talking points you've prepared in the past?

After reading similar opinions from people whom I respect, I have come to believe that 'scripts', or prepared talking points, can be extremely valuable for fostering communication and building relationships. I've also realized that it need not be a superficial or disingenuous exercise.

As someone who struggles with 'small talk', I'm trying to work on developing relevant, appropriate talking points.
