What do you think?

Any time you put forward your opinion – whether it takes a few seconds or much longer – never end with a full stop.

Instead, end with a question mark. This way, you keep the conversation going. 

What you’ve said might not resonate with the other person. If you don’t invite them to respond then you may never find this out.

And the best question is often the most simple one: ‘What do you think?’ 

Try asking this any time you say something. See what happens.
