No. 1. Listen way more than you talk. Ask questions. Maintain eye contact. Smile. Frown. Nod. Respond — not so much verbally, but nonverbally. Thats all it takes to show the other person theyre important. Then when you do speak, dont offer advice unless youre asked. Listening shows you care a lot more than offering advice, because when you offer advice in most cases you make the conversation about you, not them. Dont believe me? Who is, Heres what I would do … about: you, or the other person? Only speak when you have something important to say — and always define important as what matters to the other person, not to you. -Not that any of what this list suggests are must haves. Nor that, without it you are going to be considered any less worthy than the cause that you seem to be representing. But knowing most of you work and most others will be on the ball - rolling, in couple of more years (or more, for some others) this seemed to be a Business Insider Id like to have shared with you. With my little experience as an employee, its only becoming increasingly evident to me that the success of what we put ourselves out there to get done - largely depends on how well one is able to influence the other. Much to the despair of having gone through years of academics. We still somehow know very less! Though I should admit - in what we believe to be our area of expertise, we may perceive ourselves to be well-read and rightly so. But that aint gonna do magic unless youve got them convinced that you are one to listen to. Even if for nothing, arguably, for the success of our business - of which we most definitely become the face of. This post and this businessinsider/9-things-incredibly-attractive-people-do-2015-1 are worth a read for those two reasons. But hey, you do have to be incredibly genuine to be extremely charismatic.
