Getting along

The Business Tourism seminar yesterday had three speakers. One of them skillfully lost his audience. He bored us to tears.

Our task in life is not necessarily to get everyone to like us.

After a career in sales spanning over 20 years, I fully understand that people feel comfortable with you if they feel you are a bit like them - if you have things in common.

As a trainer and public speaker, I know the same rules apply when talking to one person as when talking to a roomful.

Find things in common. Care. Be human. That has helped me chat quite easily with almost everyone.
