Introduction
I am not a professional, I am just one person and this is just one opinion. Please take what is useful to you and leave what isn't. Human relationships are complicated and individual, every situation and person is different, be open and trust yourself to have the power to read the person and what they need from you in order to connect. You've got this!
1. (05:05)
Encourage the person to talk about themselves or their own interests and be a good listener - everyone wants to feel heard.

3. (07:23)
Find mutual ground/common interests
