Charisma Expert Felicia Spahr: Group Conversations, Creating Rapport, and Getting Digits

7/21/2015

 
On this episode of Become More Compelling Radio, I am joined by my friend Felicia Spahr.

Felicia has been featured in INC, Fast Company, Business Insider, The Huffington Post, I Will Teach You To Be Rich, Entrepreneur on Fire, Mind, Body, Green, and many others.

I love this conversation for so many reasons. After listening to this episode you will be able to:

• Craft an amazing introduction (10:00)
​
• Focus on the right things during group conversations (15:40)

• Create rapport during one-on-one conversations (38:02)

• Know how and when to exchange contact information (46:20)

In the comments below, let's practice our introductions. Remember to avoid jargon, and job titles that no one understands.

Basic formula: "I help X do Y so that Z."

I help people fix their TVs so they can stay entertained 24/7.

Syed -- I LOVE that introduction. Why? Because you take something that 'seems' boring like fixing TVs, and turn it into the 1 thing people love about TV: being entertained! Beautiful. Test it out and see what people's reactions are!

It's a good reminder of how we need to break out of our comfort zones, and this helps give us the tools needed to begin and hold those conversations that we usually avoid.

And I REALLY like that idea of having a sort of warm up conversation before you have to go into a social situation that may be breaking your comfort zone bubble. I'm gonna try that next time I have to do so!

Exactly Sean.

The best way to "warm up" to have those conversations?

Have conversations!

It creates a virtuous cycle.

An object in motion stays in motion.

Love it.
