English Coaching – Blogging to Connect

3  reasons why people are afraid/reluctant to connect

1. They are un or under prepared
2. They have fear of rejection
3. They have a limited self image and/or low self-esteem

So what to do… well, like learning to swim or ride a bike, it’s about taking these on… dealing with them.

1. Take time to prepare – visualize myself out there – giving a seminar – totally prepared. what makes me prepared. what do i look like?

2. Bask in the joy of acceptance. and the theory that every NO gets me closer to a YES

3. Remember, we are all little living breathing creatures on this planet – some richer and well known than others, but all basically mortal with limitations. “Imagine how you will feel when people acknowledge you, congratulate you and show their appreciation of you.”  Gitomer (Little Black Book, pg 65)
