You probably don't often think about how you make friends. You either do or you don't. However,giving it a little thought could make you the most Mr/Mrs Popular! Here are a few tips to help you win friends and influence people:
• Break out of your comfort zone and speak to people you wouldn't normally speak to
• Read their body language – it tells you a lot about someone
• Never test or contradict their ideas – you do not know these people and do not know how they will react
• Make sure your body language is open. Approach with a smile, smiling is infectious if the other person has a stern look on their face, the moment you approach them with a smile you will gradually notice that they will smile too. This usually sets it up for a good conversation because both people are in good moods.
• Ask quality questions; find out what is important to the person, goals, beliefs, interests, etc
• Try to listen at least twice as much as you talk
• Don't interrupt
• Don't finish people's sentences
• Don't offer advice too soon
• Be encouraging
• Be appreciative and give compliments
