So, tell me about yourself

Did you know that this phrase is the best way to get someone to like you? It says heaps about you to the other person without having to express it in other ways.

1. You want to know more about the person
2. You are interested in who they are as a person
3. You prefer to know about them rather than talk about yourself
4. You have the capacity to listen

How do you start up a conversation with someone you don’t know? Is it awkward and clumsy? You don’t have to impress someone with who you are or what you do, what’s important to the other person is how much you are interested in them.

So the next time you meet someone, open your arms, and say, “So, tell me about yourself,” and you’ll be pleasantly surprised at the response. Why open the arms? It exposes your heart and to many people that’s body language saying that you physically and emotionally trust them.
