I think improv has helped me in conversations.
I know it sounds silly, but I have a hard time (always have) with small talk,
I feel like one of the major rules of improv known as "Yes, and..." has helped me get a little bit better with impromptu small talk.

"Yes, and..." basically forces you to listen to what the other person is saying. In improv, though, if someone says something like, "You know, I went to the lakes the other day and they were filled with jelly"... Instead of saying, "No, that's not true" you'd say, "Yes, and... I fell into the jelly and somehow bruised my belly button" Or something like that. :)

Ideally, you never want to shut the other person down by saying "No". It should always be "Yes, and..." Because that shows both people in the best light and makes it much easier for the conversations to grow into more hilarity.
