Here’s a piece I archived years ago on the lost art of conversation.
I’m a rabid exponent of emails, SMS and digital messaging, and that’s ok. And how cool we can now have an AI agent create and send all that stuff while we sleep!?
Here’s what’s even cooler though:Â
Most humans would rather have another human to talk to, and preferably in the same room.
Looking them in the eye and shaking their hand.
I thought about this the other night when a colleague of mine was speaking at a networking session with 30 people in the room.
He came away with 11 new clients!
Get out from behind your desk once in a while and go meet some people.
Love you lots

PS: Arguably the easiest way to meet lots of people and impact their lives in one swoop is to win a few lucrative corporate wellbeing engagements.
Companies are crying out for skilled practitioners to help reduce absenteeism, improve mental health and increase staff retention.
If you’re unsure how to get into it, reply with “wellbeing” and I’ll send you an eBook all about it, with my compliments.
