• No fake smiles
  • Be authentic
  • Say hi / ask about themselves
  • When talking take the right distance, which are different if you want to be closer than just demonstrating you’re listening
  • When talking, look at their eyes at least at the end of the sentence, not the opposite
  • Mh mh / yes I’m listening and focused on what you’re saying - not too frequently
  • Connections levels up after discovering/asking about how they see themselves - it can surprise you how they live and feel themselves
  • not too much leaning
  • non verbal bridge - like closing distance in closer zone but not intimate zone
  • hand shaking / hugging: if ppl say good to see you from distance they probably don’t want to go further
  • speech: start from the center, categorize parts of the speech going left and right
  • move arms away from your torso
  • distance between lobs and shoulders / shoulders down
  • head tilt
  • speak louder
  • don’t overthink how to start a conversation / be basic - hey I’m x nice to meet u / ask like plans
  • think out of the box / there are many ways to be social / ask better questions
