Can you Captivate People?

Yes! You can. Vanessa Van Edwards in her book ‘Captivate’, briefs the importance of people skills and how to develop those.

Social connection is the most valued part of a successful life. Everyone wants to communicate, build networks and socialize. It doesn’t come easy, though. Studies show that people with strong interpersonal communication are happier in their lives.

Winning friends and connecting is daunting for many of us. We prefer taking the last seats at a social gathering, staying alone, or worse messing up the situation.

Successful people all indeed possess excellent interpersonal skills. They are confident and engaging. They always leave a lasting impression with their communication.

People skills help you leverage your success by uplifting your confidence and self-esteem.

Here are a few excerpts from the book to help you captivate the social game.

Control your area. Be careful of the situations you play in. You don’t have to fake to connect with others. You don’t have to be acting like a super extrovert if you’re not.

Control your emotions and your barriers. Know when, where, and how to connect with people. Be natural in your actions.

Capture your to-be-buddies with your first impressions. Your posture, body language, gestures, and tone all play a crucial role in building a relationship. The very first signs show if you’ve made a friend or not.

Good eye contact, a firm handshake, and a head held high can lead you to success. First impressions always make an impact. Show confidence in your moves.

These are the tiny talk points that trigger excitement during a conversation. These help release dopamine that keeps the conversation engaging and memorable.

Replace your boring words with unique, attractive phrases. Not only will it help break the ice, but it, also keeps the conversation flowing. It leads to more positive communication.

Highlight others’ strengths genuinely. Everybody wants to be heard. Listen to their ideas and appreciate their interests.

Generic talks are less powerful. When you highlight someone’s strength, they hold on to it forever. Use those factors while introducing them to others. Highlighting their abilities can put a lasting impression on the person.

Be curious about one’s interests. Find if any of those matches with yours. Try to learn if you’re not aware of the concepts. Let them teach you. Teaching improves responsibility and self-esteem. The other person will feel respected.

Curiosity, not only help you create a connection but also makes you more likable. When a person’s ideas are valued, it ignites enthusiasm within.

Appreciation can be the best gift you can give to someone. But, ensure to convey it with your heart. Fake appreciation does more harm than good. It deprives one’s confidence. Figure out the positive aspects of a person and let them know.

Everything in this world deserves appreciation. Look for even the slightest signs to pat them.

Help people honestly. Empower them by giving them ownership of tasks. Allow them to tackle it themselves.

Empowering people helps build mutual trust. It encourages honesty and productivity. The sense of responsibility will help them achieve higher goals.

Connections are a fascinating part of our lives. There are beautiful people in the world. Everyone is eager to be connected. Everybody is looking forward to meeting new people. All you need to do is to captivate them.

By your actions, your thoughts, and your presence.
