Step Three
Make Eye Contact
People generally have a greater degree of trust when someone looks them in the eye with a genuine sense of caring and respect. Remember, it’s usually awkward for the other people at some of these events as well. Take the lead in making others feel at ease
and your presence will be both appreciated and memorable.
You will also be missed at future events you are unable to attend. And that is the greatest compliment you can receive in creating your identity and developing better relationships.
