The Art of Listening
Listening is a skill we can all work on.
Be an active listener to truly learn from others and find out the other person's perspective.
• Put yourself in the other person's shoes, look at things from the other person's perspective
• Show that you are actively engaging in listening to what is said, one way to achieve this is " back-channeling".

Be human
Everyone you meet feels they are special in some way and we all have insecurities.
Rather than always telling stories of your highlights also share your mistakes to be relatable. Nobody is perfect and people are more receptive to those who aren't afraid to point to their shortcomings.
• It's okay to be vulnerable.
• Be honest as this will free you and other people from any shame of who you are.

Never Appear Too Perfect
Appearing better than others is always dangerous, but most dangerous of all is to appear to have no faults or weaknesses. Envy creates silent enemies. It is smart to occasionally display defects, and admit to harmless vices, to deflect envy and appear more human and approachable. Only gods and the dead can seem perfect with impunity.

• We usually remember the first and last parts of interaction this is why it's important to have high energy when you introduce yourself and as you end an interaction.
• Assume that you will see the other person again
