What does it take to win success and influence people?
Here is how those with the best people skills win the day:
• They build the right relationships.
• They truly understand and connect with their colleagues, their customers, their partners.
• They can teach, lead, and inspire.
In a world where we are constantly connected and social media has become the primary way we communicate, the key to getting ahead is being the person others like, respect, and trust.
In “The Art of People: 11 Simple People Skills that Will Get You Everything You Want” by Dave Kerpen, you will learn insightful tips for connecting with and influencing others.
For example, use this tip when having a conversation with someone during which you are distinctly focused on achieving optimal understanding. Don’t think about what you are going to say next or do next. Just focus solely on what he or she is saying.
Remember that listening is a lifetime activity and that we all can continuously improve this essential skill.
Take at least a half an hour every month to get completely silent in a meeting and practice active listening.
