    Invitation..say something that explicitly lets a person know it is their turn to speak.

  • Take a breath once in awhile so the other person can have a chance to speak.   A lot of people don't do that.

  • Ask for their opinion, or just ask questions about them personally. Open the door and let them into the discussion.

  • Well said as they need to feel they are wanted at times in the conversation.

  • Sometimes you have to work hard to find anything they're interested in, but it can keep things rolling.

    Being open anod sincerely interested in what they have to say. Our body language will expose us, both positively as negatively.

    I find all your suggestions and thoughts very encouraging.  Sometimes we need that extra nudge to feel the confidence to join a conversation.  Being around people who make everyone's opinion just as important as the others.  It sounds like all of you would be great to take to a party.  Thanks for all your input!  Awesome conversationalists! :) :)
