Six ways to Make People Like You
Become genuinely interested in other people.
Smile.
Remember that a person's name is to that person the sweetest and most important sound in any language.
Be a good listener. ...
Talk in terms of the other person's interests.
Make the other person feel important – and do it sincerely.
We’ve all heard it: leaders who just love to hear themselves talk…and talk and talk…never landing on a point or delivering a clear message. If you’ve ever been told you’re an “over talker” or that people don’t understand you, try a couple of these tips:
Think about the “headline” of what you want to say – and say that first.
Include a few specifics, but keep your points crisp – edit yourself.
Pay attention to your listeners – respond to their interests.
Target your message to your audience – it’s not about you.
Ditch the filler words – they keep your mouth moving but add no value.
