3 (EASY) Ways To Be More Likeable
It’s been election time in the UK (although this post is relevant for EVERY day), but still, it got me thinking about how we influence, persuade and what impact we have on other people.
So think about it. How well do YOU influence? What kind of impression do YOU think you make on other people?More importantly, what impression do you WANT to make on other people?!
Well, if you’re interested …and if you want to have more of an impact, then take a look at this little video I put together (if you haven’t already seen it at the top of the page). It’s quick and basic but it just might help you in your career and will definitely help you in life!
It’s 3 Ways To Be More Likeable. And in summary, they are:
1. Take a genuine interest in other people. Talk less, listen more.
2. Give a compliment, or show some kindness. Make it real.
3. Smile more! It gives an instant warmth, and creates a good first impression. It also makes you approachable.
It’s not rocket science…..but then why don’t more people do it…?
I guess some of this is almost too obvious, leading us to believe that we are doing these things anyway – so if that’s you, this video will just serve as a gentle reminder to keep doing what you’re doing.
It’s worth taking a long hard look at yourself, because being ‘likeable’ isn’t just about being nice to be around – there are countless benefits if you happen to be in a job were you need to influence or persuade others. Think of it as you selling you.
We’re all ‘on stage’ – and that means we’re in the spotlight and are presented with opportunity.
How much you make of it, is your call.
