Do You Make These Common Mistakes When You Make Conversation?
Ever wonder how to make conversation? Many Moons ago.
Talking to people was something I avoided where possible
because I did not understand how to make conversation. Maybe
you can realte to this?
Here are three common mistakes people make when they want
to make conversation and tips on how to deal with them:
1. Judging Your performance Against Unrealistic Standards
Be honest with yourself. Accept that where you are now in terms
of your communication skills is only your starting point - not your
finishing point - mastery of how to make conversation.
And assess your performance and your progress against your
typical level of effectiveness. Not against some desired
state of perfection or ultimate goal: being able to make conversation
with anyone.
Goals are very important as a destination to aim for but do
not use long term goals as a standard to judge your current
performance against - that is a recipe for disillusionment
and massive frustration.
2. The Failure To Learn Each Day
As people we can be lazy. This means that a lack of follow
through on our goals can go unnoticed. After all we can
always catch up some other day.
This attitude will kill your dreams faster than you can
spell failure and stop you from learning how to make
conversation.
When I started to make massive improvements in how I
related to people I dedicated myself to becoming excellent.
Once I had proven strategies the rest was easy. I just
applied the material each day. I improved each day because
I made it a priority and because I committed to applying
the material and I mastered the ability to make conversation.
3. Attempting To Be Original
Many years ago I put myself under huge pressure by
expecting myself to be original with each person I met.
This is a sure-fire strategy for failure and a great way to
get stressed out for no reason while failing to make
conversation.
There is no need to be original. You can have the same
conversation all day long with different people and nobody
will suspect a thing!
People are happy to talk about mundane topics because there
is no effort involved. People are happy to talk all day about:
- the weather
- their children
- the new movie
- the family pet
- the boss
- the traffic
This is all you need to do when you want to make conversation.
You get the idea - make conversation about what people already
like to talk about.
