“Communication – the human connection – is the key to personal and career success.” – Paul J. Meyer
Work, family life, household chores and never-ending ‘to-do’ lists… when life gets busy it can be quicker and easier to text, tweet, telephone or do none at all. But when was the last time you took time out to have a good old-fashioned face-to-face conversation?
Your Day 10 Making Time challenge: For 10 minutes… have a proper conversationSpending time with someone and engaging in real, genuine and meaningful conversation reminds us of what’s really important: the human connection. After all interacting with others and building relationships is how we learn, develop and grow.Today’s challenge is to take 10 and have a proper ‘in-person’ chat with someone – your partner, your mum, a friend, a colleague, a stranger in the park, a busker, the shopkeeper – anyone you like. Give that person all your attention, listen to them, ask questions, don’t interrupt and relax, smile and enjoy being human. We promise it will enrich your day – and theirs – more than you can imagine.
