No Small Talk- Conversation Starters for Introverts

19. How to Unlock Human Connection | TEDx Talk by Dan Foxx


Listen Later

Covid-19 has all of us at home, social distancing and missing human interaction and connection. Who would have ever thought that we’d be limited in how we interact with one another, when we interact with them and where we interact with them.  Although us introverts value me time, we also value and are inspired by meaningful am inspiring interactions that leads to deep connection.

In today’s episode we share a special TEDx Talk by Dan Foxx.  In his TEDx Talk, Dan says that the key to unlocking human connection is found in our ability let go of our ego and authentically care for others. As introverts that enjoy meaningful connections, it is important for us to get out of our heads and stop worrying about our insecurities, fears and anxieties around speaking to people. Stop focusing on how we sound or what we should be talking about, and focus on the person we’re speaking to, what they’re interested in, what they’re motivated by and simply connect with them.
