You Only Have to Make it Once

What happens here

Make every interaction an intentional practice session. This means actively applying your observational learnings and consciously working to make the other person feel amazing. Practice everywhere: at the gas station with the cashier, at the Subway counter with the sandwich artist, at the library, or while buying groceries. Treat each encounter as an opportunity to build and refine your skills, aiming to be so remarkably positive that people remember you and even anticipate your needs or preferences.

Goal: Consistently apply people skills in everyday interactions.

Tools and materials

  • Self-awareness N/A — Monitoring and adjusting your own behavior during interactions

They're talking to you about you to other people and it's all good things. Hey, you got it. Do you know so and so? Hey, you got to I got to introduce you to this person. When you have those opportunities, more doors are going to open up. And it doesn't fall back on your technical skills. It falls back on your people's skills. This focus on your people's skills.
