Many people believe that the knack for creating strong connections with others is some special skill only a lucky few are born with.
That's far from the truth.
Dr Ralph Nichols (who lead the study and development of the "field of listening.") once said, "The most basic of all human needs is the need to understand and be understood."
This is true in every conversation you have. Regardless of who you're talking to.
Research has found that social and physical pain light up the same areas in our brains, emphasizing just how vital human connections are to our existence.
Connecting with people then isn't about being born with some special skill, it's about understanding how we're all wired and then playing to that wiring.
So, if you want to make instant connections with everyone you meet, follow these steps below:
1. Nail That First Impression:
First impressions are decided in the blink of an eye. Leverage positive body language right from the start—smile, make eye contact, lean in. These non-verbal cues draw people in and set the stage for a memorable interaction.
2. Use Their Name:
A person's name is sweet music to their ears. Use it throughout your conversation to personalize and deepen your connection.
3. Look for the Positive:
Consciously try to find something genuinely likable in everyone you meet. This will elevate your energy and can transform a potentially superficial interaction into a meaningful connection.
4. Ask Meaningful Questions:
Encourage openness by asking questions that probe deeper, like asking why someone chose their career path. This moves the conversation beyond superficiality and into the realm of real connection.
5. Be Open:
If the person you're talking to is sharing things about themself with you, be sure to do the same if they ask. This exchange of genuine experiences and feelings lays the groundwork for a real connection.
6. Be a Learner:
Approach every interaction with the mindset that this is an opportunity to learn about the person you're speaking to. Showing that you value the other person's knowledge and experiences not only makes them feel seen but also enriches your understanding.
7. Handle Their Vulnerability With Care:
If someone opens up to you, treat their trust as sacred. Avoid sarcasm or judgment that could make them regret sharing with you.
8. Smile:
Smiling is contagious and creates a warm, welcoming tone in any interaction.
9. Drop the Competition:
Life isn't a contest. Focus on finding common ground rather than trying to outdo each other's stories or achievements.
These tips will create a very solid foundation for creating a connection with anyone you speak to.
