We all wish every interaction with had with other people to come with great outcome.
The truth is we all 'blow it' sometimes. It's very painful to go through misunderstanding, hurt feelings, lost of opportunities and unmet expectations and that's why I have written this short four steps strategies to better connect with people
Step1 𝐩𝐚𝐲 𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 :
This may sound basic but the other steps may not work if this first step is not applied. We don't truly pay attention to the other person, we all talk about ourselves only, we interrupt other people, we think about our own interests but it's not supposed to be so, we should always be patient for other people to finish what they have to say/do.
Step2 𝐀𝐝𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐚𝐜𝐞:
This is very easy because we simply need to adjust to speed and angry level of the other person. We need to observe if the other person is more fast-paced or lower-paced, if he/she appears to be then we need pick up and be responsive and if he/she is relaxed and casaul you too should be relaxed and casual.
Step3 𝐀𝐝𝐣𝐮𝐬𝐭 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐩𝐫𝐢𝐨𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐲:
This may be hard but it's very important. Sometimes you may not want to do something but you need just show a great heart and care for other people in other to secure peace.
Step4 𝐇𝐞𝐥𝐩 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐨𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐬𝐨𝐧 𝐠𝐞𝐭 𝐰𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐡𝐞/𝐬𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭𝐬:
This simply has to do with actively responding in a way that places value on the other person's interest.
