Practice good eye contact from "summary" of How To Talk To Anyone by Lowndes
Maintain eye contact, and you will be ahead of the game. It's one of the oldest tricks in the book, yet so many people fail to grasp its importance. When you make eye contact, you show that you are engaged and interested in the conversation. You are sending a clear signal that you are present and paying attention. Eye contact can also help establish trust and rapport with the person you are speaking to. It shows that you are confident and assertive, which can be very attractive qualities. When you maintain good eye contact, you are showing that you are trustworthy and reliable. People are more likely to believe what you are saying and feel comfortable opening up to you.
In addition, good eye contact can help you gauge the other person's reactions and emotions. You can pick up on subtle cues and signals that will help you navigate the conversation more effectively. You can see if the other person is interested or bored, engaged or distracted. This can help you adjust your tone and approach accordingly.
However, it's important not to overdo it. Staring intensely at someone can come across as aggressive or creepy. You want to strike the right balance - enough eye contact to show you are engaged, but not so much that it becomes uncomfortable.
So, the next time you find yourself in a conversation, remember to practice good eye contact. It may seem like a small detail, but it can make a big difference in how you are perceived. Keep your eyes locked on the other person, and watch as your communication skills soar to new heights.
