I'm taking a six week course about the power of connection.  Ruoff Home Mortgage here in Fort Wayne is putting on the class for about 12 Realtors and 6 of their own loan officers. 

I am normally not a big fan of these types of things, but I got the invite and said "What the heck!"  I'm glad I did.

The first class was yesterday and I already got schooled on something. 

 

I talk too much. 

 

By doing a few exercises about initial engagement, I realized that I am quick to dominate a conversation.  I'm friendly, have a firm handshake, I look people the eye when I first meet them...  and then away I go!! 

It was a humbling and eye opening meeting for me.

Guess what my intention is this week?  It's showing interest in others before expecting them to show interest in me.  :)
