When you are genuinely interested, your authenticity reveals itself in your body language, attitude, facial gestures, eye contact, and overall responsiveness.

How Can You Show You Are Interested?• Pay close attention.• Ask how you can help.• Ask probing questions.• Practice great listening.• Invite people to participate.• Express curiosity without judgment.• Find a way to help others achieve their goals.• Keep your mind open to innovative ideas.• Make introductions and connect like-minded people.• Get to know people first before talking about yourself.• Consider how and why they feel/think/believe as they do.

What makes you curious about someone when meeting them for the first time? Do they have a fascination factor? Is there something special about them that stands out? What makes you want to learn more?

Be fiercely curious about who they are, what they do, what they like, and what they need. If you pay attention to them, they will pay attention to you.
