I guess all of you sitting here can recall certain people who just seem to make you feel comfortable when th
9、eyre around. You spend an hour with them and feel as if youve known them half your life. These people who have that certain something that makes us feel comfortable have something in common. And once we know what that is, we can go about getting some of that something for ourselves. How is it done?
10、Here are some of the skills that good talkers have. If you follow the skills, they will help you put people at their ease, make them feel secure and comfortable, and turn acquaintances into friends. First of all, good talkers ask questions. Almost anyone, no matter how shy, will answer a question. I
11、n fact, according to my observation, very shy persons are often more willing to answer questions than extroverts. They are more concerned that someone will think them impolite if they dont respond to the questions. So, most skillful conversationalists recommend starting with a question that is perso

Another example, one prominent woman executive confesses that at business lunches, I always ask people what they did th

Making people feel comfortable isn t simply a matter of making idle conversation. Your questions have a point. Youre really asking, What sort of person are you? And to find ou
15、t, you have to really listen. There are at least three components of real listening. For one thing, real listening means not changing the subject. If someone sticks to one topic, you can assume that he or she is really interested in it. Another component of real listening is listening not just to wo
16、rds but to tones of voice. I once mentioned D.H. Lawrence to a friend. To my astonishment, she launched into an academic discussion of the imagery in Lawrences works. Midway through, I listened to her voice. It was, to put it mildly, unanimated, and it seemed obvious that the imagery monologue was intended solely for my benefit. And I quickly changed the subject. And last, real listening means using your eyes as well as your ears. When your gaze wanders, it makes people think theyre boring you,
