You'll be able to Talk to Anyone Once you Know these techniques..

Have you ever struggled to finding what to say?

Have you ever felt frozen right before wanting to talk to someone?

Well, if you have, then what I'm about to share with you will help you overcome your challenges.

These techniques are simple yet unpracticed. You may have not come across them, but from what I've experienced, they are life-changing!

The missing part of Dale Carnegie's book, How to Win Friends and Influence People, could be said is, How to Talk to Anyone. In Dale's book, you discover how to become an influential leader and well-liked. How to Talk to Anyone teaches you the exact tips, strategies, and tricks to become that leader! These strategies are practical and actionable. What's amazing about this book is that the author, Leil Lowndes, coaches top fortune 500 executives to become more effective communicators. Her work has been acclaimed by every major news publisher such as the New York Times and TIME.

How to Talk to Anyone is also an Amazon Best-seller and one of the most sold books in the Business and Communications category. It's a must-read for everyone that wants to improve their communication skills.

Below are a sample of the tips I came across from the book. Enjoy.

Tip no. 1: The Flooding Smile

When you see someone, don't smile straight away. Instead, make eye contact, and once you do that, then go ahead and smile. This will sure make your smile look genuine and only reserved towards that person.

Tip no. 2: Hello Old Friend

Follow this strategy - Treat whoever you meet as if they were someone you knew a long time ago. Pretend as if, fate had it, that you both split up. Nevertheless, you both were once great friends. You both are excited to see each other.

Following this strategy, you will send a subconscious message to your brain. This message implies that you are comfortable meeting this person. You care about your "friend". This will help you feel comfortable and in a well-relaxed mood which will all reflect in your body language and the way you carry the conversation. :)

Tip no 3: Watching the Scene before Making It

This relates to the power of visualization. Tony Robbins tends to mention this quite a lot. There was once a research done between 2 basketball groups. One group was ordered to train for a week. The other was ordered to visualize themselves in the gym training, shooting, running, hitting the locker room even. Speaking of results, both performed at the same level. This has shown that when you visualize a scene long before making it happen, the results will almost be identical to what you visualized.

Next time you feel coming into contact with someone, visualize yourself talking to that person, all happy and both of you laughing. Don't do it once. Do it as many times as necessary until you feel so confident that you are tired of visualizing and want to do it in real life!

Tip no 4: Prosaic with Passion

Most people are worried about how to start a conversion They think it's awkward and weird to come up to a person randomly. Yet, research has shown 80 percent of your listener's first impression has nothing to do with your first words. Body language matters. How you carry the conversation matters more. How you make the other person feels matter the most.

Take yourself and your best friend as an example. Chances are, you remember the conversation you first had. But you don't remember how it started as in what kind of words he or she said. You didn't judge how they were at first. You gave them a chance. Same thing goes when meeting anyone. Most of us will give the other person a few seconds before assessing whether that person is worth listening to.

Tip no 5: Always Wear a Whatzit

A Whatzit is anything that you can wear that attracts attention. A Whatzit can be anything such as super bright red shoes, a very colorful shirt, a bracelet that shines, or a hat that stands out.  A Whatzit will cause others to be curious. A Whatzit will make the other person want to compliment you or ask you about it.

Tip no 6: Always check the news before leaving the house

This will save you from the embarrassment of asking others, "what is going on?". Checking the news will always safeguard you from awkward silences as you can casually bring up the news, as long as it's relevant.

Tip no 7: Never just say "thank you"

"Thank you", has become so normal these days, it's become a norm and is no longer heard. Instead of saying, "thank you", when someone is nice to you, say, "thank you for being so kind." Instead of saying "thank you", say "thank you for helping me." This has proven to make people appreciate you more.

Tip no. 8: Scramble Therapy

Once a month, try going on a crazy adventure that you never though of yourself on going. Do something extreme. Go skiing, surfing, camping, hiking, or diving. Visit an art exhibition. Watch a foreign movie. Try different dishes. Become friends with people of different background and embrace new cultures. Travel abroad. Go somewhere far, perhaps southeastern Asia. A common pattern among interesting people is that they all tend to try different things and have traveled around.
