What is the most important thing people want to talk about? I, me, my, mine= me, myself, and I.
Talk about the other person. You can’t go wrong. Most people when they are in a conversation are focused only on themselves. You need to be actively focused on other people and make them # 1.
If you give up the satisfaction you get from talking about yourself and focus on the other person, you will find that you will have more influence.
People love to talk about themselves and you should let them. That’s how you become a better conversationalist.
Most of us are not effective when talking with others because we keep busy thinking and talking about ourselves. The thing to remember is that it is not how you like your remarks and subject, it is how your listeners like them.

Hi Jacques .. just be cheerful, ask them what they're doing etc - be interested in them, their children, work etc .. you learn while you're doing this ..

Hello Jacques,
Great advice on listening. You learn a lot more by listening than you do talking. Thank you for this good information.
