Chapter 6 - Be Empathetic & Show Appreciation to Others

To truly get others hooked on what we have to say, we have to follow that old adage: “Seek first to understand, then to be understood”.

People who have real, lasting influence aren't self-obsessed and narcissistic. They are able to make others feel truly valued as if they were the only people in the world at the moment.

Having empathy means truly taking the time to understand what concerns others and tailoring you own message to their needs to any given time.
Having empathy is the way to not only deliver your message, but to make your audience feel like your message has been delivered just for them and only with them in mind. (Being a fallible human).

If you make others feel like the show is for them, they’ll want to come back to the show every single time.The easy way to practice this is to try understanding where other people
are coming from what’s on their mind? How can you make the conversation address their immediate need? Get into someone’s mind, and you will have no problem winning their heart.
