But what is this fizzing? We will tell you about it in detail in technique number 5.
When we talk to someone, it often happens that no matter how good or interesting our talk is, but still it is not able to make the same effect on the person in front, and we are not able to get them interested in our talk as much as we want. They are unable to convince the person in front of them with their words.
In this article, we will tell you 6 techniques from the book How to Talk to Anyone written by Lei Lowndes which will improve your communication skills.
Whatever the situation may be like a job interview, business deal, meeting someone for the first time or going on a date with your crush, this technique will help you to impress people and attract them towards you.
1) The Flooding Smile
On meeting someone, our facial expressions only show how interested we are in meeting them. Our smile plays the biggest role in this. This smile either makes us good in front of the person in front of us or can show us as a fake person. Most of the people notice our smile on our face.
To show yourself as a genuine and real person in the first meeting, whenever you meet someone, do not smile immediately. First you look at their face for 2 seconds and then bring a lovely smile on your face. This method assures the other person that your smile is genuine and just for them.
2) Sticky Eyes -
"an interested person is an interesting person"
You must have noticed that some people do not make eye contact while talking, they keep looking here and there, this behavior shows the person in front that you are not interested in listening to them, so that they also do not take interest in you.
Therefore, while talking, keep in mind that your eye contact should be maintained with the person in front, but it does not mean at all that you start staring at them, the eye contact should be very natural. And if you want to look here and there, you can do so for one or two seconds, but your communication should not break.
3) The latest news-
Whenever we go to any social gathering, we mostly think about our outfit, matching shoes, watch, hairstyle etc. But during this time we forget one important thing and that is to carry the current news topic with you in the brain for impressive conversation, that is, if you go to any social gathering, then before going to the current events or topic Read about
Example – New Government Policies, Environment Issues, Stock Market, International News, Upcoming or Latest Movies ETC
Due to which you will have a lot of topics to talk about and the person in front will consider you a knowledgeable person.
The selection of your topic always depends on the person you meet, if you talk on a topic according to the interest of the person in front, then there are more chances that your conversation will last longer.
4) Hello! Old friend
Many times we meet such people who meet us in the first meeting itself as if they already know us and we remember their friendly behavior even later, so whenever you meet someone, you meet them like this. You already know them if you imagine like this, then the conversation that starts will be very confident and energetic and the person in front will feel that you are a positive & energetic person.
5) Limit Fidget -
Fidget means our body language or movements while talking.
For example, not making eye contact, biting lips, playing with fingers, not sitting properly, these things make you appear nervous and a liar. Follow these steps to fix it –
# Never touch your face while talking to anyone, nor do much movement.
# Don't scratch anything with your hands like - for head, T-shirt, paint or your neck.
6) Be the chooser, not be chosen –
Everyone meets such a person in their life, after meeting whom you feel that this person can change your life. This can be your friend, mentor, idol, in most cases it will be someone you want to be in a relationship with, or your crush.
Well whoever it may be, but author Lei Lowndes says that if you see such a person, then do not wait that the person in front will befriend you, but you yourself go first and start talking with confidence because most of the people keep on thinking but some They take action and regret later.
Half of life's problems would be over if we learn to speak.
