In his TED Talk, Edmond Abi Abdallah explores the often-overlooked art of human connection and how small, seemingly insignificant interactions can lead to remarkable opportunities. Through personal stories ranging from a casual compliment on a mustache that landed him a key business contact, to a meaningful exchange with a university cashier, Edmond highlights the hidden benefits of social intelligence.

With humor and insight, he shares how thoughtful gestures, like offering genuine compliments or recalling past interactions, can open doors both in professional settings and everyday life. Edmond emphasizes that while knowledge is powerful, knowing how to interact with people is even more valuable. He invites his audience to think beyond conventional networking and embrace the power of social intelligence in every interaction. coming soon This talk was given at a TEDx event using the TED conference format but independently organized by a local community.
