Little things matter

Touch It's one of the most powerful suggestions you can make. Many cultures and people in general are much more motivated when touched. A simple gentle touch.

Ever tell someone something and they look at you in disbelief? Sure you have. Try this, as you tell that same person something gently touch their shoulder or arm. They will then believe you. Try it.

Touching in a high tech world is loosing favor with many people. We seem to interact more with inanimate objects than people. Hence, the feeling of awkwardness when we communicate one-on-one.

One of my passions is public speaking. I like to roam the audience and "interact with them." Each time I gently touch the shoulder of someone seated, it's like the whole crowd of people can feel the intimacy and depth of the subject. If I'm speaking of something fun at the moment, they will actually laugh harder and longer if I personalize it.

Often times getting in "touch" with your audience is just that.
