>>> COMMUNICATION IN YOUR
PERSONAL AND PROFESSIONAL LIFE.
WHETHER YOU ARE INTERACTING
WITH A FRIEND OR BOSS, WHAT YOU
SAY AND HOW YOU SAY IT CAN MAKE
A BIG DIFFERENCE.
>> IT CAN BE AWKWARD.
MONICA AND GARY LEWIS ARE HERE
TO HELP US COMMUNICATE WITH
CONVERSATION.
I LOVE THIS IDEA.
EASIER SAID THAN DONE.
>> EASIER SAID THAN DONE.
80% OF THE POPULATION DEALS
WITH ANXIETY WITH NETWORKING,
CONVERSATION STARTERS, AS WELL
AS GREETING PEOPLE.
THIS IS AN EPIDEMIC.
THIS IS WHAT WE ARE GOING
THROUGH, SO IT IS NOT THE
NORMAL.
>> PEOPLE ARE SCARED TO SAY HI,
I'M JENNIFER.
HOW ARE YOU?
>> THE PROBLEM I HAVE IS
EXITING THE CONVERSATION
SOMETIMES.
>> WE HAVE TO TALK ABOUT IT.
>> I SEE THE YELLOW STIC PADS
YOU HAVE TIPS.
>> MAKE THE FIRST SIX SECONDS
COUNT.
YOU HAVE BETWEEN SIX AND SEVE
SECONDS.
YOU WANT TO SMILE, MAKE EYE
CONTACT AND HAVE CONVERSATION.
ONCE YOUR EYES MEET SOMEBODY
ELSE'S EYES, SAY HELLO.
WE HAVE SEEN EACH OTHER, JUST
SAY HELLO.
.
>> WHAT IFPEOPLE ARE SAYING
HAVE CONFIDENCE, FOR SOME THAT
IS DIFFICULT.
WHAT IS THE STEP TO REACH OUT
AND PUT THEIR HAND OUT.
>> YOU SAID SOMETHINIMPORTANT.
CONFIDENCE IS A MUZZLE.
TRAIN IT.
TAKE IT STEP BY STEP.
DO SOMETHING THAT IS A LITTLE
OUTSIDE OF YOUR COMFORT ZONE.
IF YOU ARE AFTER FREUD OF LARGE
GROUPS, JOIN A NETWORKING
ASSOCIATION OR A PROFESSIONAL
NATURE, LIKE MARKETING OR
MEDICAL ASSOCIATION.
FIND TWO OR THREE, NETWORK.
EXPAND YOUR CIRCLE EVERY TIME
>> START SMILE AND BRANCH OU
>> IT WILL BECOME NATURAL.
AND HOLD YOURSELF ACCOUNTABLE.
>>> NEXT IS ASK OPEN-ENDED
QUESTIONS.
>> ASK OPEN-ENDED QUESTIONS.
THIS SO IMPORTANT.
WHEN YOU MEET SOMEONE ASK
QUESTIONS THAT ALLOW THEM TO
GIVE A LARGER ANSWER.
STAY AWAY FROM THINGS THAT CAN
BE ANSWERSED WITH A SIMPLE YES
OR NO.
HOW DID YOU GET STARTED IN THIS
CAREER.
HAVE YOU EVER FACED STRUGGLES?
HOW DID YOU OVERCOME THEM.
>> OR DID YOU BRUSH YOUR TEETH
THIS MORNING.
>> NO!
>> YES OR NO.
>> PART OF CONVERSATION IS
LOOKING GOOD AND FEELING GOOD
AND HAVING GOOD BREATH.
IF YOU FEEL LIKE YOUR BREATH
STINKS, YOU MAY STRUGGLE.
>> CHECK YOUR BODY LANGUAGE.
YOUR BODY LANGUAGE SHOWS IF YOU
ARE APPROACHABLE.
A LOT OF TIMES WE GO IN LIKE
THIS OR SITTING IN THE CORNER.
MAKE SURE YOU ARE SMILING,
MAKING EYE CONTACT AND SHOW YOU
ARE APPROACHABLE.
GOOD POSTURE, ROLL YOUR
SHOULDERS BACK.
THAT IS NOT GOOD.
>> I SEE THIS ALL THE TIME.
HI.
NICE TO MEET YOU.
>> RIGHT.
THAT IS NOT GOOD.
>> NOT INTERESTING.
>> KEEP THE PHONE AT HOME.
>> IF YOU ARE TRYING TO ENGAGE
SOMEONE, WALK AWAY, GO TO THE
NEXT PERSON.
DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME WITH
PEOPLE WHO ARE NOT INTERESTED
IN YOU.
HERE IS ONE WE SEE ALL THE TIME.
OVERSHARING.
IF I JUST MET YOU, I SHOULDN'T
KNOWYOUR MEDICAL HISTORY.
>> MARITAL PROBLEMS.
>> LEAVE IT OUT THERE.
>> WHAT YOU HAD FOR BREAKFAST.
>> I DON'T NEED TO KNOW THAT.
TTMI.
>> LIKE ON SOCIAL MEDIA.
SOMETIMES PEOPLE OVERSHARE.
>> AVOID THIS.
WHEN WE MEET PEOPLE LIKE THIS,
WE SAY THEY VERBALLY VOM MISON
US.
THEY JUST SPILL EVERYTHING.
>>> HOW DO YOU HELP PEOPLE WHO
GO ON AND ON.
HOW DO YOU EXIT GRACEFULLY
>> YOU I HOPE YOU HAVE A GREAT
REST OF YOUR DAY.
>> INTERRUPT THEM?
>> YOU DO
>>> SO AT A FRIEND'S BIRTHDAY
PARTY SATURDAY, WITHIN THE
FIRST TWO MINUTES OF MEETING
SOMEONE, I KNEW WHERE SHE WAS
FROM, HOW MUCH SHE HAD LOST,
MEDICAL HISTORY.
SHKNEW EVERYTHING -- DIDN'T
ASK ME A SINGLE QUESTION.
IF THEY ARE SHARING PERSONAL
DETAILS.
OH, YOU ALMOST DIED?
LATER.
>> IT IS GREAT TO MEET YOU.
I LOOK FORWARD TO SEEING YOU
AGAIN.
HAVE A GREAT EVENING.
>> BUT WHAT IF YOU DON'T LOOK
FORWARD TO IT?
>> YOU LIE.
HAVE A GREAT EVENING AND MOVE
ON.
YOUR TIME IS YOURS TO OWN.
YOU DON'T HAVE OBLIGATION TO
SHARE YOURTIME WITH ANYONE.
>> DON'T GET IN THE HABIT OF
OVERPROMISING.
LET'S DO LUNCH.
IF YOU HAVE NO INTEREST, DON'T
DO THIS.
DON'T SAY I WILL CATCH UP WITH
YOU LATER
>> SO YEAH.
>> WHY DIDN'T YOU CALL ME?
>> WOW.
>> IT IS LIKE A FIRST DATE.
YOU WANT TO SEE THAT PERSON
EVER AGAIN --
>> DON'T MAKE THE COMMITMEN
>> THAT IS WHAT I THINK ABOUT
THE FIRST DATE.
>> NO COMMENT.
>> SO DARIAN, I NOTICE YOU HAVE
A JUMP ROPE.
THIS THE FINAL TIP.
JUMP ROPERS HAVE A BETTER TIME?
>> WE ARE JUMPING IN.
THAT IS WHY WE HAVE IT.
>> WE TAKE OUR STUDENTS WHEN
THEY ATTEND THE BREAKING
BUSINESS CLASS.
ALL RIGHT.
COME ON.
JUMP IN.
