The better you have developed communication skills, the more success you will achieve in society.
1. When a person is clearly carried away by the topic, say: “Tell me more.” This will help you a more trusting relationship with him, and he will remember you as an attentive listener.
2. Tell your friends about the positive impact that they have on you. If in someone’s presence you feel more satisfied, happier and calmer, do not hide it. This will show them that they play an important role in your life.
3. If someone gave you advice that turned out to be useful, do not forget to tell him about it. He will feel important, useful and valuable person, whose opinion you trust.
4. When you meet someone, say: “I’m so glad to see you!” This shows the person that you are really happy about your meeting.
5. Communicating with loved ones, regularly remind them how you appreciate them. A simple phrase like “I’m so grateful for you …” or “Thank you very much” can mean a lot, especially in long-term relationships, when we begin to take close people for granted.
6. When someone tells you about his achievements on the way to the realization of a dream, support them with statements like: “I’m glad that you have achieved so much”. It will be especially pleasant to hear someone who has encountered difficulties or goes to a long-term goal.
7. Always look into the eyes of your partner and do not take them away more often than once for conversation. It shows your confidence and promotes mutual understanding.
8. Get an open pose to immediately make a pleasant impression.
In other words, relax the muscles (including the jaws), open your arms and legs, lower your shoulders and do not shut yourself off from your partner.
9. Let it be trivial, but a smile does affect how others see you. At the neurological level, a smile provokes a positive reaction, which helps to establish contact.
10. Watch the tone of the voice. It is known that the measured pace of speech makes a person more attractive, especially when you say a little slower than your partner.
11. Keep your face flexible when talking! If you are interested, scary, funny or unpleasant, show it by facial expressions.
12. Ask open-ended questions. These are questions that involve an open response or give the person an opportunity to think out loud, like “When did you decide to move here?” Or “Why did you decide to do this work?”.
13. Always wait your turn to say: do not interrupt your partner and open-close your mouth to attract attention. It’s ugly and looks too pompous.
14. Try to rephrase or summarize the words of your partner, especially if he spoke for a long time on the topic of interest to him. This confirms that you listened to him and understood what he is talking about.
15. Always ask people to tell you about their life, experience, interests and goals. Almost everyone likes to talk about themselves, so that a contact is established immediately.
