So many people think that they have to join in the conversation and even one-up what\u2019s just been said that they miss the opportunity to truly connect.
\u201cI can\u2019t wait to get to Hawaii\u201d
\u201cOh, me either! This pandemic is something! I just love the sand on Waikiki and the sun. Oh, and you can\u2019t beat the food.\u201d And on and on and on, leaving the other person out of the conversation.
Beware of hijacking the conversation in an effort to join in. When you make it about yourself, you\u2019ve missed a HUGE opportunity to actually connect.
Take a listen and let me know what you think!
