Master conversation skills, advise from Research Digest

Exactly what I always advise the younger executives on brushing up communicating skills:

1. Talk to strangers.
Strike up conversations in elevators, at the cashiers, with the cafe barista. There’s so much to gain, aside from feeling happy.

2. Connect with relationships.
Touching about something personal in the other persons, as well as sharing something personal with your own self, builds trust, and creates a connection. Be genuine, though.

3. Be generous in compliments.
Everyone loves to be complimented. You’ll be amazed how good you feel yourself, when you take the effort to notice something good at the person, and compliment it. Like that beautiful shawl that brings out the colour of her dress, or the smooth way he answered during the Q&A session in the presentation.
