I’ll ‘amen’ this flavor-topic of conversational value. It’s both valuable and difficult. One way to make yourself more relevant is to read broadly and converse outside your narrow field of expertise. If alert, you’ll might pick up ideas from books you’ve read that are both interesting, telling and applicable… It not only gives you depth, it communicates your assumption of depth in others that’s not only flattering, but true. Most people imagine themselves with more complexity, substance and depth than we give them credit for, because they are. Don’t be timid or abstract — know your ‘take-away’ from a seemingly unrelated topic. It’ll set you apart.
