Most people have a desire to be more interesting. We all know that being more interesting is attractive but it also helps us have better relationships with others and to be more effective.

To "be interesting" makes us more engaging and successful with others both personally and professionally.

In this podcast I talk about this concept of being more interesting and some strategies we can use to achieve it.

These techniques are very important for young people but they are equally important for ourselves.

It is also important to "be interested" in others and to connect with the things that make them interesting.

Have you noticed how effective it can be to demonstrate interest in others and to balance conversations out to make sure the other person is speaking more than you are in a conversation?

There are also some ways that you can make a "less interesting" person or topic, more interesting. There are ways to direct the conversation in ways that will help you engage in your areas of connection.

Relationships are at the core of both happiness as well as effectiveness in our personal and professional lives.

Let's learn to be both "more interesting" and "more interested."
