Overview
Shallow conversation is fine for the line at the coffee shop or a particularly long elevator ride, but all in all, it's not your speed -- especially not today. You have too much wit and charm to just skim the surface with other people. You need to take the time to go deep. Ask the penetrating questions that give people something to think about. You don't want pat answers that anyone can spout out. You want (and deserve) to hear where people really stand on issues.
