Pop culture silliness. Keep it light and not too personal.

Awesome take.

I ask the room "What's the best tv series right now?" Eveyone has an opinion, story, or similar to share and it keeps convo going for a long time..

That’s a good one!

Sports & music or movies👍

Good one!

Weather and vacation.

I love how we can talk about the weather every single day 😂

Weather. Always a safe option and always something to talk about.
Just remember the unwritten rules: It's great to complain about the weather, but only complain about the weather for a country that you lived in for a long time, or grew up in. Don't be that expat who moans about how the weather was better at their last office

This topic never gets old!

I usually have success with talking about vacation plans and TV shows

Good idea!

I have been on a planned personal sabbatical this year pursuing personal interests. Now I’m ready to go back to work. I will have next week the second interview with an exec recruiter for a company for a Director level position reporting to the COO of the company. In addition to having relevant experience and accomplishments handy, I would appreciate any pointers for having a good interview at this level.
