The title of this mini podcast is, The Secret to Making a Connection. It's no secret that attention is the secret to making a connection. I've talked about this many times before, but maybe not enough times for really to hit home.
So let me give it another go here. When you give another person your attention, something happens almost immediately. You begin to connect. Make eye contact, and they know you see them.
while they're talking, give them a smile or a little facial expression that says, I'm with you, they'll know you're listening. Even the way you position your body can communicate that you're engaged with them. But when you don't give someone your full attention, the opposite happens. You disconnect and they feel it. Try this one on for yourself.
That was the opening. The rest of the episode (2 min) is in the player: every word clickable, with translation, saved words and flashcards.
