Become a Good Listener

If you want to be a good conversationalist, follow Dale Carnegie’s advice: be an attentive listener and show genuine interest in others. Carnegie emphasizes that people are more interested in themselves than in you, so let them talk about their interests, problems, and accomplishments. In conversations, let the other person do most of the talking, ask questions, and be genuinely interested. Carnegie shares a story where he made a positive impression by listening attentively to a botanist at a party. The key is to be an active listener and encourage others to share. People appreciate those who genuinely listen, and it fosters a positive connection. Carnegie warns against incessant self-talk and interrupting others, as it can make people dislike you. Ultimately, to build rapport, focus on the other person, their interests, and let them lead the conversation.
