Hey you!
Let Me Share a Quick Communication/Networking Tip with You.
For the longest time, I’ve wondered why it’s relatively easy for me to connect and communicate with people, especially strangers. Maybe not just “networking” in the formal sense, but the ability to strike up conversations that don’t feel awkward or forced.
You know that initial weirdness when you're talking to someone for the first time? Yeah, I rarely experience that anymore. In fact, I have a track record of people saying I’m fun and intelligent to talk to (their words, not mine 😌). I’ve learned that good first impressions often lead to lasting relationships, and honestly, being naturally likeable helps.😉
Side note: if I get a bad vibe from someone, I probably won’t say much. I dislike stress and bad energy? Even more.
Back to the tip:
One of my biggest communication hacks is knowing a little something about a lot of things.
It’s simple, but super effective. You've probably heard this before, but maybe you didn’t realize how much power it holds.
So how do you build this “know-a-bit-of-everything” skill?
Start with your inner circle.
Be curious about your friends' interests, careers, and hobbies. Ask questions. Engage in conversations that expand your view.Stay curious; in a healthy way.
Whether it’s music, fashion, finance, education, food, tech, books, politics, or even religion, having range makes it easier to connect with anyone.Pay attention when people speak.
You’d be amazed at the gems you can pick up just by listening.Be open. Be teachable.
People love engaging with someone who’s genuinely interested in learning, not just talking.
And if you’re anything like me, a proud fan of people, you’ll understand that humans are endlessly fascinating. So be resourceful. Be interested. Be interesting.
Okay, lesson over 😊
I hope you found this helpful?
