Hi. Is everyone in chatter box mode? Well, it is #TalkingTuesday so it is the one day per week I ask you to take a deep breath, grab a beverage and talk to whomever you can engage happily and make sure engage all day long. Talking Tuesday is great practice for gaining new clients, new ideas, new information and possibly new friendships, so get out there and start talking.
One of the most important reasons for drumming up conversations at the very least, once per week, is the simple fact that it brings us back to human contact and human interaction. The only interactions that we are currently getting is with our fingers. We avoid phone calls like the plague thanks to modern technology and the digital age. And even worse, face to face conversations are almost unheard of. It is a horrible thought but if we do not take the time to have actual face to face conversations with people, we are going to lose our ability to ever know how to properly converse.
Interpersonal skills are a main function of life because it helps to develop your intelligence. You cannot build yourself up internally if you cannot muster up the courage to hold actual conversations with other humans and yes, it does take a sense of courage to start a conversation especially if you do not know the individual. Talking is literally and figuratively an exercise that strengthens the brain in many ways and as the old saying goes, if you do not use it, you lose it.
When you continually converse with people via email or texting, you lose the ability to hear their inflections and as a direct result, you cause undo stress to yourself because you are constantly trying to figure out someone’s intentions. Reading rather than speaking can cause so much confusion because you are not sure of the actual intention in that text or email that you will have prolonged going back and forth trying to ensure you understood what was actually being said. On the flip side, you may read a text or an email one way when the fact is that the sender meant it a totally different way and now you have wasted lots of time and energy and possibly have insulted someone because you did not do what was asked.
My point to my Lori’s Loop community is simply, get out there and if only for one day a week, spend the day talking. You will definitely sharpen all your skills and you will guarantee your own success by being that much more honed in than your peers.
Here is a book that I have recommended to you in the past. It is called How To Win Friends and Influence People and it is a great book to help you on this continuous learning journey.
