In one-to-one conversations, what you and the other person are interested in really matters.

In group conversations, people don't care what you are interested in. They just want to hear where their interest lies at the beginning of the conversation. Once you catch their attention, they'll start giving input. Now it's your time to align their inputs with what you are interested in.

In public speaking and conversations like TED Talks and conferences, the communication methods are completely different.
