When it comes to building relationships,
it could sometimes be more of a task than a way of life for many and as a result many individuals miss great opportunities by not being able to connect with the people around them.
While it’s almost natural for some to connect with others within a short space of time, it takes others much longer time to establish such and same connections.
So is it then a talent or gift?
I won’t exactly disagree but whichever the case might be, becoming a people person can be learned and mastered when certain principles are practised over time.
So, I am going to share some important points with you right now. Things you can do to connect and relate with people more than ever.
If you become consistent with these practices, you will find out that you will become a sort of person others want to be around.
Here are the points:
1. Remember People’s Name
One of the first things you need to master is to be able to remember the names of people you have met before. I know this can be sometimes overlooked but very important. Imagine this, how would you feel if someone you’ve met few times on different occasions tries to introduce you to a friend of hers without remembering your name?
Immediately, the message sent to the third person is the idea that either you both don’t have an established relationship or that she knows little or nothing about you for her not to have remembered your name. Again, it is somehow embarrassing when this happens.
It also shows that you haven’t placed any value on such relationships. So to avoid such instances, start remembering people’s name. Here are some of the ways you can remember people’s name:
Identify or match people’s name to things, events, places, TV programs or other people’s name you can not forget.
For example, I met a lady and she introduced herself to me as Hannah; knowing fully well I am going to forget the name, I immediately link the name to Hannah Montana, which is a name from the TV show.
