In this brief networking tip, Nic Peterson advises that after a long day of event fatigue, instead of discussing work details, you should ask a fellow attendee, "What do you love about what you do?" This question serves to snap people out of the lull, re‑engage them in conversation, and reveal their core values and passions, providing insight useful for deeper connections.

At a networking event, ask somebody, because by the end of the day you're tired, you don't want to talk about what you're doing, uh, et cetera, et cetera. So you ask somebody, what do you love about what you do? And it typically, especially after a long day of like these networking events, uh, typically snaps them out of the lull and gets them talking about what they love, which obviously tells you their values.
