No matter the title, role or responsibility next to a name, there’s a person behind it.
A person as human as you or me. A person who enjoys the idea of getting some sun with an effervescent drink in hand. A person with others looking up to him or her. A person with dreams that we may not be chasing in this exact moment.
You’re going to be in a position where they do the questioning and you’re there to answer and to sell in an idea or yourself or a product.
In the moment, you’re feeling human, too and it’s great to do the talking.
But it’s worth remembering you can also ask questions.
“Where did you grow up?”
“Do you ride motorcycles, too?”
“What do you try to do in your free time?”
When we open the door to connect on a level other than what we met to connect on, everything gets easier and more enjoyable for both parties.
Ask as many questions as you answer.
Offer up moments to connect on something other than the agenda items.
Don’t stop yourself from having an interaction that could end with a hug rather than a handshake.
Stay Positive & You’re In This Journey Together The Moment You Connect
