When you go out networking, are you interested or interesting? Are you waiting for your chance to talk or are you waiting for the opportunity to learn more about the person you are chatting with?
I want you to be interested. Learn questions that allow the other person to comfortably talk about themselves. Be genuinely interested in what they say...adopt this attitude...people are a never ending source of fascination for me. Don't worry that the other person doesn't know anything about you yet...and yes, I know that you are very interesting indeed! Still, your turn will come, in this conversation or the next. The odds of your getting to that next conversation are wonderfully increased by starting by being interested, not interesting.
