It's More Than Just Small Talk

### It’s Never Only Small Talk

There are no strangers — just friends you haven’t met yet.
Sometimes we underestimate the power of simple conversations.
A casual chat over coffee.
A shared laugh.
A thoughtful question.
A moment of listening.
What looks like “small talk” on the surface often becomes something much more meaningful over time.
Week Eight’s theme is: It’s Never Only Small Talk.
At Connect Over Coffee, conversations don’t have to be profound to matter. Real relationships often begin with simple exchanges — and grow naturally from there.
You don’t need to arrive with:

• A perfect introduction
• A polished pitch
• A big idea to share

Just bring your curiosity and willingness to sit at the table.

### 🌿 What Happens Here

• Relaxed, face-to-face conversations
• A welcoming mix of first-timers and regulars
• Space to talk — or simply listen
• No formal structure, no pressure

Some conversations stay light.
Some go deeper.
Both are valuable.
