As you go about work and being with others this week, be sure to pay attention to each one. Listen attentively, look at them as they talk and as you talk. Do not look at anything else but them. This makes for a stronger connection, better communication, and warmth. Yes, occasionally you might glance at something but the primary focus is on the others.
Perhaps you do this all the time. There are people that look down or up or at other things. They do not make much eye contact.
I find that when with other women we seem to look at each other more than many men do. Really.
If you find it hard to look up as you talk, put your elbow on the table and prop up your chin as you have your conversation.
It is important to make connections with people. It may take some effort but if you do, you will appreciate the time together.
I think this also shows you care.
I see no downsides. Maybe in some cultures you do not look at each other. But in ours, I think it is the way to go.
