1. Become genuinely interested in the other person. 

George Mason University psychologist, author of determined that being interested in others is more important than being interested yourself. “It’s the secret juice of relationships,” stated. So, whatever you do, talk in terms of the other person’s interest. You’ll be surprised by the outcome.

2. Listen more. Speak less. 

Want to create a great first impression? Let the other person speak without interruption. Yes, I’m talking about parking your thoughts and avoiding jumping in and finishing the other person’s sentence or waiting impatiently for your chance to respond. When you actively listen, it will draw the other person to you with equal or greater interest. So go ahead, give the other person your full attention. What you’re communicating is “I am interested in what you have to say.” 

3. Closing thought

If you haven’t caught on yet, the key for your new social approach is this: You take the initiative and make the conversation about the other person. People love to talk about themselves–if they have something worth talking about that adds value to the conversation. Once they know you’re not a wacko, if you ask a genuine question first (try “what’s your story?”), they’ll appreciate your showing interest. This selfless act of putting the spotlight on someone else makes you the more interesting person in the room.

Additionally, a wise man knows when to speak and when to stay silent, choosing their words carefully and speaking only when necessary.

5. Adapting communication style accordingly

A wise man speaks well by being aware of cultural differences and adapting their communication style accordingly. Understanding and being aware of cultural differences is important when communicating with people from different backgrounds. A wise man recognizes that different cultures have different norms, values, and expectations when it comes to communication. They are open-minded and respectful of these differences, and they make an effort to understand and adapt to them. This can include things like being mindful of the use of humor, the level of directness, and the use of nonverbal cues. They also respect the linguistic and communication preferences of their audience, and they make an effort to speak in a way that is most comfortable for them. Being aware of cultural differences can help to build trust and mutual understanding, which is a key aspect of effective communication.
