Listen Up
Excellent advice from Buzzoodle Ron on how to make stronger connections in conversation:
1) Listen 50% more
2) Ask twice as many questions
3) Hold eye contact 50% more
4) Make slight contact, or hold contact slightly longer (Better hand shake, maybe)
5) Show sincere sympathy or enthusiasm for something they say
6) Ask them if there is anything you could help out with
People love to talk about themselves, and they trust someone who listens and understands. Strengthen your relationships by making each interaction a rewarding exchange.
