WINDOWS TO THE SOUL

Eye contact has long been known as one of the most powerful ways to connect with people. It's also the only way to signal to someone that you might be listening to them.

You'll learn more about them, build emotional empathy, reflect back that you are indeed listening, and gain ?? windows to their soul. Yeah, healthy eye contact is that ?? powerful.

"Don't look over other people's shoulders. Look into their eyes. Don't talk at your children. Take their faces in your hands and talk to them."

- Leo Buscaglia
