3. Winning with People


Listen Later

If we are great at everything but bad with people, we are still bound for failure. This episode talks about people skills that we should all remember but often forget. For some, connecting with people comes naturally; for others, it takes practice. If you would like to get better at relating to the people around you, this one is for you!

The whole world with one minor exception is composed of others. You can choose to ignore them & focus on yourself, or you can get over yourself and learn to put other people first.”- John Maxwell

4 Ways to Win w/ People

1. Talk about the other person’s interests

People are interested in people who are interested in them. You can make more friends in 2 months by becoming genuinely interested in them than you can in 2 yrs by trying to get other people interested in you.  In order to talk in terms of other person’s interests, we have to become good listeners. Listening benefits u as well. You’re going to learn some things that are going to help you immensely.

2. Have an upbeat, positive attitude

Our attitude will make us or break us. Having the right attitude is more important than having the right answers. Be the kind of person that people like to be around. A positive attitude is contagious. Choosing an upbeat, positive attitude is one of the most important decisions we will ever make.

3. Smile when speaking with others

Simple but effective. It shows that you’re approachable. It shows people that you like them and accept them. If you want to draw others to you, light up your face with a smile. This benefits us as well. Studies show that if we smile more, even if it’s forced, it actually makes us happier. 

4. Be an Encourager

Everyone wants to be appreciated. Encouragement needs to be sincere. It also needs to be specific. There’s something we can appreciate about everybody.

Bottom line: If we focus on what we can give in relationships more than what we can get, our relationships w/ ppl get better.
