Please do! It'll often feel a bit awkward but push through that because the risk makes the reward!

Ha, yeah that happens sometimes. Try and include the chaps too.

How did it go?

@@YourCharismaCoach It was great! At first it was more awkward but then eventually I had a longer conversation and I felt super good afterwards. It made me feel better for the rest of the day. I want to stick with it

@@user-cm9yx7hz3j Well done! It's a great skill to develop. You'll find the awkwardness often vanishes if you plough through the first minute. It occurs because you're doing something novel; and it takes a few moments for most people to get used to this. In those first moments, just RELAX (breathe normally) and act like it's no big deal: most people will eventually follow along. Keep it up.

@@YourCharismaCoach thanks! I try to keep it up but the last two times I just didn't have the courage to do the first step. I'll keep on trying tho

@@user-cm9yx7hz3j It's 100% okay to make the task easier. For example, just sharing an observation with somebody (or even noticing something about them). Anything is better than zero; and this will build momentum for your next attempts.

Thanks! We better pull our thumb out and make some more videos!

Calibration is key. No ass beatings (...yet) in 15 years.

It's not pua.

It's always a risk to say something different. If yous ay it with a smile, you reduce the risk of it falling flat.

It's true I really do. A brew of Yorkshire Gold for the win!

I'll see what I can do! What was most useful?

@@YourCharismaCoach seeing the natural infield interactions in different situations along with the caption explaining why your saying certain things. and also showing how natural things can be if u don’t get into your head to much. How would you handle a group of two or three people?

Thanks for watching, seems so long ago it was recorded!

Who do you recommend then?

Hurrah!

That would be brilliant!

It absolutely is...and calibration.

Whoops! Five year holiday for your right ear

Oh that's awesome! Thanks for letting us know! Good luck with your new role!

You have several paths. If you're starting out then it's a good idea to warm up your mind before pushing yourself into approaching strangers. This video ('5,000 Conversations') on my channel is worth a watch in regards to these steps (kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z5_GYqGcgah9pJo). The practice of having a single, 1 minute conversation a day, will take you really far. However, perfect practice makes perfect, which is why the steps in the video are so important. It's not enough to simply approach hundreds of people; although that can help provide some initial personal growth. Mastery comes from quality over quantity. Another really good way is to incorporate conversations into your lifestyle. Get out of the house: find a hobby, take a class or sales job where you will be socially interacting with others because you're essentially getting free training. I used to work in a cinema and that gave me lots of practice (and er, free films!)

Thank you for taking the time to share your story. I'm really happy you've developed your skills: well done! I used to have that voice too ('what if they react badly') so now I ask myself "I wonder would happen if I said Hi?". You'll only ever experience a 'bad' reaction if you break someone's personal boundaries/ values. In polite society, that's actually quite tough to do, even if you're goofing around. To get your social life back on track, find some sports or hobbies where you can attend a weekly class. It'll provide a social base from where you restart your growth. Keep it up!

If I can add to this I would say it’s good to have a reason It can be a stupid reason and a good place to get creative Like you both noticed the same thing doesn’t matter if your interpretation is the same, it’s still relevant
