Do you want people to like you right away? Of course you do. Even better: how would you like it if people felt happy and inspired soon after they meet you? That would be wonderful, wouldn’t it? You probably also wouldn’t mind being able to play the piano brilliantly.

What does it take to achieve these lofty goals? Practice. Tons and tons of practice. Constant and consistent stretching, learning and awareness. Here’s a list of a few skills you need to practice to get people to be thrilled with your company:

• Smile so that your inner feelings of joy and playfulness come through.
• Move your body smoothly and with casual control.
• Use your eyes to softly connect with the people around you.
• Sculpt the tones of your voice so that it is pleasing to listen to.
• Tell stories with ease and flourish.
• Listen with a crisp focus.
