    Meilleure citation de Beyond Hey: Real Conversation Starters That Work

    “

    The goal isn't to perform or impress immediately—it's to create a moment where you can both relax and see if there's a genuine connection. When you approach conversations with curiosity and care for the other person's experience, you give them the rare gift of feeling seen and heard.
