Dare to Self Improve

A simple touch is supremely powerful form of communication and building comfort. But, there is a definite skill or “art form” in doing it right. There are two ways that utilizing this mechanism can work out for you: you can either come off as charming and friendly, or as a sleezy creeper.

The most important thing to remember about touch, is to do so within the context of whatever conversation of action is going on. When I meet people and start telling them a story, early on at some point, I’ll touch both people next to me on the back of their shoulders just to make sure they’re listening. I also happen to get very animated when telling stories, so this is no shock. People, both guys and girls, just seem to open up more to you when you initiate some light, friendly, non-invasive physical contact.

I’ll talk more about this throughout the week.
