Small talk is the informal, casual conversation people engage in about light topics such as weather, weekend plans, or current events, typically used to build rapport before or alongside more substantive discussion. It is an important interpersonal and networking skill in professional settings, helping to ease social interactions, build relationships with colleagues and clients, and create a comfortable atmosphere at meetings or events.
