Listen

Listening is the best gift you could give to someone. Nodding and saying something like “hmm” or “yes” shows that you are listening attentively and their thoughts and feelings matter to you.

Use Name While Talking

People love when they are called by their names so if you want someone’s attention, taking their name in a conversation will make them feel comfortable and familiar.

Ask Questions

Asking questions in conversation shows that you are genuinely interested and curious to know more and that will help you make better connections.

Make People Feel Important

Giving importance to others like giving a small compliment or appreciating their efforts or doing something for them shows that you value them and they are important to you.

Acknowledge Your Own Mistakes

If you are wrong, just accept that you are wrong. Admitting your mistake shows that you have integrity and it helps in building trust.

Stay Charming

Charm is always attractive. Be a nice and kind person. Smile at others, offer help, be empathetic and be a lighthearted person that people love having your company.

Avoid Criticism

Nobody wants to be criticized. If someone has done something wrong, talk to them and give proper feedback in a supporting manner.

Maintain Eye Contact

People feel more connected if you are talking to them while watching in their eyes. Maintaining eye contact shows that you are attentive, confident and interested in talking.
