Three Simple Steps to Gracefully Exit Any Conversation

In today's fast-paced world, knowing how to politely end a conversation is a valuable social skill. Jay Shetty and Vanessa Van Edwards recently discussed this on Shetty's podcast, offering a simple three-step technique. Van Edwards emphasizes the importance of non-verbal cues, such as subtly angling your body towards an exit. She also suggests using verbal cues, like inquiring about the other person's future plans, to signal your intention to leave. Finally, a polite farewell, perhaps with a handshake or high-five, completes the graceful exit. As Van Edwards states, "When someone is in a conversation, they're very present. When I would like to go, I'll be like, 'What's your plan tomorrow?'" This approach allows for a smooth transition, leaving both parties feeling respected and understood. Mastering this skill can enhance social interactions and leave a positive lasting impression.
