Do You Know Five Fundamental Rules To Talk To Anyone
I have always admired
about those successful, victorious, and top men/women who seem to "have it
all" do you? I always see them
chatting and talking very confidently and comfortably in meetings, pubic places,
and social parties. Do you?
I have always thought
why only these kind ones with the best job, the nicest life-partner, the great
friends, rich and wealthy. Do you?
Hey......just think of yourself! are they
really smarter and knowledgeable than you? You know what I think. NO.. they are
not smarter or educated than you or me. They also do not look better than us.
So then what is it??
Some of you say that
they inherited it. Others say that they married it, or they just lucky. So I
ask those fellows that just think again.
The most
important and basic thing is that they have a skillful and efficient way of
dealing with any human being. Whether
it is winning the promotion, landing the job, or charming a new partner. Other
people are our optimal, and the greatest resources.
The internet has been
seen as the ultimate means of bringing people altogether. Where you can have ultimate fun with a
constantly growing of "friends" on Facebook. Whatever we
need to keep in mind that spending hours and hours in the front of a mobile,
laptop, or any screen is an inferior
substitution for the broad palette of experience offered by face to face time
with another person.
Today I' have come up
with five fundamental techniques of "How to talk to anyone".
So let's jump right in.
1) The Flooding Smile.
The technique number
one is the flooding smile.
You should not walk
around with a constant smiley face. All great communicators know that their
smile is the greatest weapon so they have designed it for maximum impact. When they smile, it has
more impact on others, and other smiles with them.
Now you know this, so
next time, whenever you greet someone, do not smile immediately. Instead, look
at the person's face for a moment. Standstill, soak in their face. Then let the
flow a warm, and big responsive smile on your face and let it flow into your
eyes. In a fraction of a second, people get assured that your smile is honest
and only for them.
2) Sticky Eyes.
Do you know.... in the
western culture, most of the people considered deep eye contact as a signal of
confidence, trust, and knowledge? Yes, it is. Here the main trick behind it is
that you have to pretend your eyes are connected to your conversation. You have
to keep in mind that you should not break eye contact even after s/he has
finished talking. Whenever you look the other way, do it so reluctantly and
slowly. Suppose you have a problem while looking into the other person eyes,
just look at their nose or eyebrows. Deep eye contact can be highly beneficial
in the case of business, and especially between men and women.
3) Limit the Fidget
Expert communicators
knowingly control every sign which may distract the listener from the conversation.
So, you have to know
that whenever communicate with someone then you should not massage your arm
whenever it tingles or rub your nose when it itches. You should never put your
hands on your face. You should not loosen your collar when you feel hot, nor
you blink your eye constantly.
As you know all these signs reduce your credibility. So, you should come up with discomfort, if
you want to improve your credibility. So, now onwards let you your ear tingle,
nose itch, and keep your hand away from your face. Still, if you do repeat
these actions while communicating surly listeners may think that you are hiding
something or lying even you are not.
4) Parroting
You know in badminton
how the shuttlecock is coming forth and going back over the net? Similarly in
conversation, where the conversational shuttlecock goes forth and back.
First, you speak, then
another person speaks, again you speak, and so on.. now what will you do when
the shuttlecock falls in your court and now it is your move to speak, but your
head goes blank? No need to be panic, just you have to repeat it
"Parrot," the last few words said by another person, kindly in a
questioning tone. Now, you throw the shuttlecock (conversation) right back in
another person's court, and then all you need to listen.
For example:
S/he: Hey! I went to
the market last night.
You: The market?
s/he: Yes, there was a
great sale.
You: Great sale?
Just keep in mind that
you should not overdo it, Because it can be extremely annoying if they do not
have much to say. In case if they do have much to say then it is the fine
technique to continue the conversation if you do not have much to say to our
partner.
5) Wear a Whatzit
As you starting a
conversation is very hard with someone, especially when you do not know the
person. In such cases, Wharzit surely helps you out.
So what do you mean by
Whatzit?
hmm... do not know?
Ok... I will explain it to you. It states that when you carry or wear something
unusual, strange, and unique thing. Such as a strange tie, unique t-shirt,
interesting purse, etc. It can be any object or thing which attracts people
attention. This is called Whatzit. So, now whenever you go
outside or a party then carry or wear something unique or strange to give
others an excuse to approach you.
similarly, it goes for
you. When you are interested to talk to someone new. Just follow the Whatzit
law.....
