The vast majority of people get far fewer good results they are hoping for. One great place to look if you'd like to improve your overall results is your relations with others. Typically, relationships with others covers a wide range. It turns out that many other individuals are in a great position to help us out.
Explore this concept in some depth with these managment courses.
You may notice that people don't get along as well with each other as they should. We could spend a lot of time on this, but I want to focus on 3 quick ideas. You will have wonderful improvements in your results if you just focus on 3 areas we're going to be discussing.
1st, let's talk about appreciating other human beings. Next, is the level of social engagement we have. And the third, is our overall awareness of people in general.
General appreciation.
Concentrate on being connected to others at a higher level. Simple ideas and techniques work best to improve our connectivity. Most people know these are ready they just don't put them in action. By way of illustration, think of how rarely people say “thank you” to each other. Generally, people are helpful and do things for you all the time. Often people just think it's commonplace.
Authentically say "thank you" is frequently as you can. Don't wait for something big, say “thank you” for anything nice or helpful.
When you're nearby the person show your appreciation right then. Of course, be authentic. Make certain you use the right body language as well as the right words.
If you can't talk to them directly still have to use another technique. At times like these, you can use a phone call. Alternatively, you can send an e-mail message. The best method however would be a hand written note of appreciation.
Whatever technique you use the goal here is to have a direct connection with others.
Be thoroughly engaged.
Everyone likes to feel honored. Far too many people use the comment “no problem” as a replacement for “you're welcome”. These 2 expressions are not really interchangeable. More people agree with me then agree with those that think they are equivalents. Note, your goal is to be fully engaged in all your relationships. You could say “my pleasure”. It's better than saying “no problem” in most instances. Test it out. You'll see the difference They will all like” my pleasure” much better.
Next time somebody asks you how you feel today, don't just say “fine” or “okay”, say something like “great”.
I recall receptionist at one of my customer's offices. She was always very upbeat. She always said she felt wonderful or terrific. She always got me to smile and she said that. I used to like to tell her I felt, “excellent”. Next time I saw her she would tell me that she was “splendid”. We would typically pass this ball back and forth frequently.Even though that's about all we talked about they were wonderful engagements
Awareness...
It is vitally important we know what's going on around us. It is our awareness of our situation. It is an important element. Generally, this is a situational analysis.
it is a formal technique, but it's very effective. We all need to be more aware of the people around us. We need to observe and pay attention and be engaged It simply being interested. People notice when you're actually interested.
It simply means to stop, look and listen. Don't worry so much about yourself, focus on the other individual and how they're doing.
In summary.
Nothing we've talked about is difficult. But, that's the point where trying to make. The point is they're not done frequently enough. Distance yourself from most of the others by being somebody who genuinely connects with other people; enthusiastically honors other individuals; and, acknowledges everyone at a high level. You will be a much better person if you do this. And, the payback will be you'll get better results.
