Meeting Smalltalk Cheat Sheet Design

Goal

Create a high-signal, quick-scan “Cheat Sheet” for meeting smalltalk and bonding, based on the Smalltalk and bonding.md guide. The output should be optimized for a Google Doc, allowing the user to find situational prompts instantly during a live call.

Structure (Situational Grid)

The cheat sheet will be divided into the following sections:

1. The Opening (Warm-up)

  • Focus: Generic but human catch-up phrases.
  • Prompts for “Start of week” vs “Turbulent times”.

2. Situational Modules (The “Look and Listen” section)

  • Background/Office: Compliments for stylish or minimalist setups.
  • Pets: Phrases for when a dog appears or barks.
  • Family/Kids: Empathetic responses for family noises or appearances.

3. The Pivot (Professional Transition)

  • Focus: Respecting time and leading into the agenda.
  • Scripted transitions to move from chat to work.

4. Pro-Tips

  • Quick reminders on “Matching Energy” and “50/50 Sharing”.

Format

  • Markdown file (.md) formatted with clean headings and bullet points.
  • Optimized for copy-pasting into Google Docs (uses standard MD headers).
