How To Be Liked
You don’t have to be smart and charismatic to build connections with people — just make a commitment to do the little things right.
Here are a few steps to be liked, while saying little:
- Don't look at your phone
- Remember names
- Leave a good last impression
- Do small talk
- Have some ice breakers
- Know when to keep quiet
Leave Your Phone Behind
You have to show interest to be interesting, so don't look at your phone, look at the person in front of you and provide your full attention.
Remember Names
Remember people's names, it really helps build a bond. Make it a priority to memorize and say their names to them. It's something we all like to hear.
Leave A Good Last Impression
Leave a good last impression by offering to connect the person you are speaking with to someone in your network who you think they may get along with.
Association is important.
Small Talk
Small talk, like asking about the other person's day, or talking about the weather, comes off as pleasant to many, as it puts them at ease.
Small talk is great if you are talking to a complete stranger too.
Ice Breakers
Having an ice breaker or a conversation starter can be really helpful. You can ask about some tips or advice that relate to their interests, or careers.
Listen
A likable person is a good listener and knows when to keep shut and simply listen with intent and genuineness.

The Fear of Public Speaking
Public speaking is often topping the charts as the No. 1 fear in the world.
People feel anxious, sweaty, or have a pounding heart while being on stage in front of an audience.
Practice
A great way to remove a large portion of fear is to practice hard, studying the topic well. You can research all questions that the audience may ask, and practice the speech in front of a mirror or in front of friends.
Practicing soothes our nerves, making us ready for the final audience.
Bigger Than Your Fears
When you talk about something you are passionate about, the words come naturally, in a flow. Even if the words are forgotten, you can easily bounce back, as your inner fire won't let the words fail you.
