Vegas Communication Expert Highlights Positive Trends In Connecting
LAS VEGAS, NEVADA, UNITED STATES, September 8, 2016 /EINPresswire.com/ --
Vegas, her residents and visitors, reflect positive trends in how we connect and converse says Jill Spiegel, College of Southern Nevada Instructor and Author of “How To Talk To Anyone About Anything!” These trends reboot our motivation to spark new conversations and build meaningful connections.
One new trend: forget about being clever, start with a comment about the weather.
“All people, no matter what age or gender, like to feel uplifted,” Jill explains. Embracing your shared surroundings with a resident or vacationer is an instant feel good connection. A heartfelt “What a day we have today!” or “I love this weather! Aren’t we lucky?” ignite mutual feelings of gratitude and spotlight your positive attitude.
Another trend: fear of “different” is out. Diversity is in.
One of the most common and effective ice-breakers are what Jill calls “background bridges,” compliments with questions like, “I love your accent. Where are you from?…London? That’s one of my favorite cities! My dad is from Manchester.” or “ Are you from Las Vegas?…An original native, wow! I just moved here from Spain after my brother moved here.” Background bridges are engaging roadmaps to what we have in common, Spiegel explains.
Another trend we all have in common: phones with cameras and photos.
In today’s modern tech world people carry cameras and virtual photo albums right in their pocket. Whether it’s showcasing pictures of your family or your pet, or taking a selfie of you and your new friend, modern phones bring a deeper dimension to conversations and connections.
Jill suggests giving sincere compliments with each selfie, “Look at your vibrant smile,
you radiate sunshine.” One comment, one conversation can be the exact words someone needs to hear at just the right time, says Spiegel. “ There is am opportunity and lesson in every encounter.”
In Vegas, the melting pot of world cultures and The Entertainment Capital of the World, these trends highlight that from all walks of life people are inspired to learn more about each other!
