Being shy, it’s always been tough for me to break the ice when meeting a new person. My typical opening is “What do you do?” So what do I say when I can’t ask them about what they do (Your not supposed to do that at Successful Thinkers)? Last week I heard the answer. At a networking function, my friend went up to a vendor, introduced herself and said: “Tell me more about you!” How simple is that! I teach that process in some of my seminars, but never thought to use it myself. Another case of the shoemaker’s kids having no shoes. Moral: answers are as close as being observant.
