How to connect with people
Invite a conversation by sharing a bit about yourself
everyone likes talking about their interests whether its about their hobbies or recent experiences
if both have similar interests then conversation flows easily
share something about yourself & then asking other person about themselves
people don't remember you for what you say or do but they do remember you for how you make them feel
Call out your commonalities
you are letting the other party know that you share similar interest or similar points of view
people love when other people share common ground with them
Actively listen & summarize accordingly
if you ever received someone's full attention, you know how incredible it feels
you can convey that you are actively listening by just body language, take it a step further to repeat important points they mentioned
if you actively listen & make them feel heard they will feel good about the conversation
Be yourself
there is no need to be someone you are not just to secure a connection
when someone spots the inconsistencies, it is a bad look for you
the quality of the connection is more important than the quantities of connections
just be yourself & connect with those you vibe with
when you are pretending to be someone you are not, you often make mistakes & your true self will slip through
offer a compliment
when you present a compliment earnestly without any ulterior motive, it can have a heartwarming effect
the other person knows that you aren't obligated to compliment them but yet you compliment them anyways
it is a universal tactic that works in both a workplace & in social settings
this will brighter up their day & make them feel good
