Now let's talk about what you can talk about. So when you are talking to someone, after that you have approached them, maybe have asked the question, maybe you gave a compliment, or maybe to introduce yourself. The question that I always ask if it's a group of people is how do you know each other? Because I would like to know the group dynamic. So it's really important to ask this question in my opinion, okay. So, you can ask the question, how do you know each other, then you can also ask What brings you here, after that you have Introduce yourself Hi, my name is Alan.
Oh, my name is Mark. Oh, what what brings you here? Oh, tonight that that that that and then they start talking. You can ask the What brings you here. And then you can also ask the basic questions. The people who say Alan, you shouldn't ask the basic questions.
And these people they need to understand that words are only 7%. What is important is the 93%, which is the nonverbal Because if I asked you, where are you from? Or where are you from? There is a difference in the intensity and the emotion that is conveyed. And that is conveyed through the words. So you can ask the basic questions.
As long as you're feeling great about yourself, and you have positive emotions. How do you generate these positive emotions? You just put yourself in a great mood, you just feel good, you move. You think about something that lights you up, you think about something great, and you will be the great emotion. And then you can ask the basic questions. The other thing that you can talk about is the environments that you have around you.
If you are at a networking event, you can talk about the conferences, you can talk about the events, you can talk about what you have in common. So maybe you are working in the same company, or you can ask questions about their company. You can talk about your company. You can talk about anything You can also talk, for example, about things that will trigger positive emotions in the other person's body. For example, if you ask a question, what do you like to do for fun? Or what do you like to do when you have free time?
Or are you working on an interesting or exciting projects lately? If you have all these questions that are framed in the positive, then the person when they will answer and they will talk about it, as long as it's something that excites them, and is positive, they will feel great emotions, and then they will associate them to you. So I encourage you to ask positive questions. Don't Don't ask questions that you know will make the other person feel sad or negative emotions, because you want at the end of the day, or at the end of the conversation to really trigger great emotions in the other person's body. And how do you do that you ask positive frame Questions, you talk about the passions about the interest, but they like to do for fun, holidays, vacation, everything that has a positive association to that. And these are amazing topics to use.
I do that all the time. And it works like a charm. So encourage you to do that. So as you can see, I don't want to give you sentences to say, I just want to give you a general framework. So that when you go and you approach people, you will be able to just remember Oh, I can talk about the environment. I can talk about them.
I can talk about myself. I can just share ideas, share sentences, ask questions, the basic questions is okay, so you can just talk about it. You put yourself in a great mood. You can also ask the question, what brings you here you can ask the question, how do you know each other and you are good with that. Then I would like you to trust your faculties and you will see later in the course. on how you can really connect with people, because now you know how to start a conversation.
And you know how to ask questions and how to lead the conversation. And then we discussed how can you really connect with these people and transform them into friendships.
