Sports Conversation Starters your Your Workweek + Convo with a WNBA GM
Apr 26, 2020
Were you one of the record-number of people who tuned into the virtual NFL Draft?
Were you also among the group of viewers who enjoyed seeing coaches, GMs, players and even NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell in their own homes?
It’s one of the biggest talking points following a draft that had more suspense around whether or not the technology would work (it did) than the top two quarterbacks in the draft class.
The NFL Draft provided sports-starved fans an outlet and insight they’d never seen. It’s a reminder that sports isn’t just about sports outcomes and work isn’t just about your work product.
Your house might not look like Arizona Cardinals head coach Kliff Kingsbury. Your dog might not get as much attention as Bill Belichick’s but that doesn’t mean co-workers and colleagues don’t want to connect with you on a personal level.
Pull back the curtain a little bit in your small talk. Be willing to chit chat before your calls this week. All it takes is a minute or two to provide additional insight on who you are, allowing for connection, trust and relationship building.
You can get the ball rolling with these sports conversation starters this week and be part of a sports conversation with a WNBA GM Thursday. I’ll be interviewing Seattle Storm and Force 10 CEO and General Manager Alisha Valavanis. It’s FREE to register.
