How can you connect with new people? I have found two excellent coaches on that subject. Shawna Schuh gives seminars, writes books, and offers audio and video programs that can help you to connect with people in a very positive way. Get one of her books or attend one of her seminars and study what she suggests. Her advice will help anyone to connect better with others. This is an ongoing educational process and Shawna can help you.
The author of How to Connect With Anyone in 90 Seconds, Nicholas Boothman, offers great advise and insight into making the best impression with others to help you improve your life. Study what he offers because it will work for you. This too is an ongoing educational process that requires you to work at it.
When studying various authors on social interaction, we must be open- minded. It may be difficult at first to understand or accept a given coach’s advice. We may feel that we already know better. My best advice on that is to work at being open to the coaching.
Why do you want to connect with people anyway? Well, for many reasons not the least of which it makes life so much more interesting. If you are the type of person who wishes that you could interact better with people, who sees others interacting in social settings that are attractive to you, then this is for you. Connecting and interacting is a gift for some. Having an outgoing nature and gift of gab comes easy for many people and they can use this gift to their advantage.
If you don’t have it, you can acquire some degree of skill interacting and networking if you choose to work at it. Another great audio program that I have listened to repeatedly is by author and trainer Leil Lownes. 62 Tips on Connecting With Anyone is full of great suggestions on how you can improve your interpersonal skills and begin connecting with people in a very positive way right away. However, this type of training is again part of your lifelong educational process. Half of the battle is admitting that you need help in this area. The other half is getting that help.
In this program, Lownes offers many suggestions that apply to a wide variety of settings and situations for connecting with people. Again, as a student of this program, one must be very open even to suggestions that appear a bit uncomfortable.
In addition to the two audio programs that I recommend, I also recommend that you look into Dale Carnegie courses or Toastmasters International for help in all areas of interpersonal interaction. This includes confidence building in social situations as well as in public speaking. Whether you are speaking to a large crowd or a small group, it is still public speaking and you can get help in this area if you choose to do so. This is all included in your commitment to lifelong learning.
