Talk to people, not machines

Talk to people, not machines

The technology is excellent and I will not give it up. However, face-to-face communication can lead to the most rewarding experiences. Human interaction allows you to stay informed and allows you to actually contact another person, which is completely lost in instant communication. Here are 8 tips to help you with your personal interactions today:

1. Initiate face-to-face communication.


Emails are fast, but can easily be misinterpreted, which can lead to constant situations. Additional information is transmitted via face-to-face communication. Above all, when there is a possibility of conflict, you meet in person to spread negative feelings and understand that we all have emotions and are sensitive to problems. Meet in person to make real connections.

2. Pay attention to body language, facial expressions and eye contact.


Use these tools to your advantage. Communicate visual interest, openness and attention. Be sure to pay attention to the visual complexities of the other person, but be careful not to misunderstand.

3. Keep an eye on the goal.


Social discussions are good, but do not forget why you wanted to initiate communication. Use the personal contact to clarify your message. This will ensure that the message is understood and well received.

4. Let the conversation count.


Do not drift through the topics. They want to go by remembering what they have discussed and feeling that the interaction has been successful.

5. Be real and sincere.


Be in the present, not in your head or even worse in your phone. Stay alert and speak with confidence and interest. Give your conversation partner your full attention.

6. Be sensitive to the time of the other person.

Do not spend 20 minutes if you have asked for 10, and do not work around the problems. When you are present, you can communicate clearly and contribute to a successful conversation.

7. Be ready.

Learn about the topic of the conversation before you begin. When discussing ideas with a colleague or supervisor, you should know what the outcome of the interview should be.

8. Face-to-face communication is a collaboration.

Every message is given and taken. Take the initiative to initiate personal communication and devote your full attention to the person you are interviewing.

Face-to-face communication is the most complete and powerful form of entertainment. Avoid it, hug it and let it work for you. Do not miss the opportunities that connect you to another person

Shirley's best advice:

Are you exhausted in the middle of your workday? Do you have what scientists call a "human moment"! Interacting with another person gives our brain a boost we do not get. Our brain needs to interpret visual and vocal cues every second, which requires concentration and intellectual involvement. It keeps our brain sharp and alert and stimulates emotional responses. A "human moment" can give you the energy you need when interacting with another person to feel better.
