Talk in an Elevator Day

Talk in an Elevator Day is the last Friday in July

Most of us are guilty of it – we get into an elevator, see someone we know, and immediately start looking at our phone or averting our gaze in an effort to avoid conversation. But this National Talk in an Elevator Day, let’s make a concerted effort to change that.

Sure, it can be awkward to make small talk with someone you don’t know very well. But elevators are the perfect place for brief, casual conversations – and they can be a great way to get to know your neighbors or co-workers a little better.

Plus, studies have shown that social interactions can make us happier and more productive. So next time you’re in an elevator, strike up a conversation – you might just brighten someone’s day.
