How to Talk to Anybody
Everything you need to survive a Canberra dinner party.
There is a very specific Canberra social ritual: you meet someone new, and within ninety seconds they have established your department, your level and roughly where you sit in the food chain. This friendly guide to small talk and social confidence is the gentle antidote — a genuinely useful primer on starting conversations, working a room and making real friends rather than merely swapping job titles. Give it to the graduate heading to their first work function, the introvert dreading another networking night, or the newcomer trying to crack a town that can feel like one big staff meeting. Practical, encouraging and quietly funny in context, it is the rare self-help book that doubles as an in-joke about a city where "what do you do?" is basically hello.
