How to Connect (and Truly Mean It)

How to Connect and Truly Mean It

With the rapid rise of digital, one of the skills that people seem to struggle with is how to connect with other people.

Whether it is meeting prospects, networking, making new friends, socialising or simply trying to connect with a salesperson and not feel like you have to be on guard, connecting with others is such an important skill.

Let's face it, how many people do you know who will avoid a phone call? They will email, text, message and seem to spend half the day going back and forth rather than spend the 10 minutes on the phone with the person.

Truth be told, so many people have asked me about this lately that I am running a 30 minute power session on the 5 Keys to Connecting this Thursday. Click the link and register to join us or access the recording.

The first key is the easiest, use the persons name.

Of all the words in the world, the one word people love the most is their name. So why wouldn't you use it? It is personal, so make sure you weave it into the conversation. Don't worry if you forget it, just ask for it again!

If you want to know the other 5 keys, join us on Thursday. Head here for more info. Then you can connect and truly mean it.

Something Extra

It seems important that people have a hobby. Have a place they can go where the focus is entirely on them and they are relieved of any responsibilities or cares, even if it is only for a short time.

Some people have said to me, "My kids are my hobby" or "my business is my hobby as well". That doesn't compute! The way you get relief from your responsibilities and stress is to take on more responsibilities and stress??

It is not selfish, it is self care. That something extra gives you time to be truly you and reconnect with what counts.

One of the things I do is sing. A bit over a year ago I decided to push myself and join a quartet. We are called Ice Haloes and we just put out a video of one of our latest songs, Mad World. You can see it above.

We are getting ready for a concert in Melbourne on Fri 25th October. If you are aroung, I would love to see you there. More details closer to the time.

For today, what is your "Something Extra"? Dear-Reader what do you to recharge your batteries and do something just for you?

PS The latest episode of Get More Success is out!
In this show we talk all about PR. Is it something fluffy or does it actually work.
Award winning PR guru Monica Rosenfeld gives us the run down.

What is Your Preventative Maintenance Plan?

What Is Your Preventative Maintenance Plan?

I am just back from the dentist. I go every six months. Usually it is quite uneventful. I get told I don't floss enough (it's now at the point I tell my dentist I am not flossing enough so she doesn't have to tell me). She scrapes, cleans, polishes my teeth and says, "see you in 6 months".

Easy!

Every now and again there is something new. This time she told me to get a specific tooth brush as it will protect my gums more. Sometimes I have an x-ray. Every couple of years there maybe a filling or an extraction (I miss my wisdom teeth!) It doesn't take much and it minimises the chance of something major going wrong.

Leadership and Management are the same, particularly with the level of change that currently exists.

So often supervisors and leaders get promoted to the position but "forget" the regular check up. Decay in the form of poor behaviours or old techniques can settle in and end up undermining you completely.

People join a company but leave a manager.

You owe it to your team and yourself to get your six month check up. It couple be a conversation with a coach or mentor. It may be formal study or a short course. It may be continual reading of articles and books. It could be active involvement in your professional association and their activities.

How are you giving yourself a check up Dear-Reader?

Plus don't forget to have a regular dental check up. Got to love a big smile!

Let me know if I can help you with that check up!
