We all seem to know someone with the gift of gab. The just seem



to naturally know how to make a conversation flow; even if it's



with someone they are just meeting for the first time.







Here are some tips on how to make conversation flow by



concentrating on why we talk to each other in the first place.







1. The golden rule.







The reason we talk to other people is to connect, on a



heart-to-heart level. If a conversation is steered only by your



head, there is probably not going to be a flow to it.







Use the golden rule when you enter that room full of strangers.



You want to feel noticed and understood. Start by noticing and



understanding others!







2. Smile!







Have you noticed that person who walks into a room 'smiling at



the world?' When they do talk to someone their voices are warm



and friendly. Smiling will make you look confident and relaxed,



which makes people want to approach you.







Don't be surprised if someone comes up to you and says: "Wow,



you seem like a happy person! Can I sit with you, today?"







3. Are you listening?







By far, people who know how to make conversation flow know when



to be the one who isn't talking! How many times have you been on



the phone and can tell that the person you are talking to is



distracted with something else. For whatever reason - they are



not really listening to you.







People who do a lot of networking have an underlying belief that



everyone they meet is the most incredibly interesting person in



the world. You can never find that out, unless you listen to



what someone has to say.







Furthermore, if you are worried about what to talk about with



someone, listening with your heart and not reacting with your



head will never leave you without something to add to the



conversation.







4. Remember past conversations.







Start up a conversation by remembering tidbits of any past talks



you may have had. You remember this was the person that was



trying to train their new pet dog.







You can start up a friendly conversation with: "So how's Sam



doing? Did you ever get him to rollover and play dead?" This



demonstrates your interest in the other person and it is always



appreciated.







5. Eye Contact.







Another key in learning how to make conversation flow is to



remember to maintain eye contact with whomever you are talking



to. You only have had to be on one bad date with someone who



keeps looking around at all the other potential 'dates' in the



room, while you are talking to them, to know that the person is



just not that interested!







Learning how to make conversation flow sometimes takes practice,



but it can lead to quality, heart-to-heart connections.
