Just start with convenient that you are the men or the person on the topic. Choose people with the same background with you, so you can follow with the topic. Don't choose a topic who totally different with the audiences background. GOOD LUCK!!

Well, act like a good student then by being a good listener. Don't talk too much just listen and give a little comment to make the chit chat going well. Your make your speech like teach to them but more like ask an opinion to them.

In order to maintain a successful converstaion , you Must listen to the other person and they have to listento you too. There Must be an understanding of each other's point of view. To start? Just say hello, and then ask the question you need to ask. To end? just go over the key points you two agree on and the ones you may not. Make sure both of you understand each other and say a cordial goodbye. sounds easy doesn't ? Well , it isn't All the time. The key thing is to listen and many Don't listen. Good Luck. Let me know how it goes.

Breaking the ice in a crowded room is not easy especially when you are surrounded by total strangers. The first thing before you open your mouth is to give your smile then a handshake to the person right in front of you and to the next and it goes on while introducing yourself. You can always say something that strike your mind at the moment like 'You look familiar to me' or 'I can't remember where I've seen you before'. Of course you never seen that person before but this is an opening game and surely the person will start his/her introduction to you. Try that out as it has been quite successful with me.

First I would say relax and be yourself. Do not let the meeting throw you and or tense you in any way. Start with a nice smile and introduce yourself to the audience. Give them a little history about you and your intentions with the meeting. Interact allowing for questions so that the audience does not get bored and engages in the entire meeting. Let them know you are available for one on one questions also after the meeting. Always give eye contact so that the audience feels like you know what you are talking about. Do not behave like a robot, with a speech and seem like you are reading a script. Be as natural as possible! In the end Thank them for taking the time to attend the meeting and wish them all future success with all their endeavors. How's that?

Just start talking. Just say "Hi", or "Hello" if you want to be formal, and go from there. It's not that hard. I do it all of the time. You can't imagine how many people I meet and talk to on a daily basis. I just say "Hi", introduce myself, and start talking about the matter at hand. Talk about whatever is on the agenda or talk about something that is brought up, or bring something up that doesn't have any controversy in it, and go from there.
