I've been working at it lately by trying to bounce the conversational ball back and forth more. It's a lot easier, I can tell you, when it's somebody I know and am comfortable with. When I first meet someone though I have to remind myself to be more outspoken. After all, they are a potential client so I need to engage.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;I recently joined my local chamber of commerce and have been getting myself out more and putting myself into more social situations. This has really helped not only my interpersonal skills but my business. It might be something you could consider as well?</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">jshultz</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:06:22 -0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Re: Building a better life through Improv</title><link>http://theosmblog.com/2008/08/14/building-a-better-life-through-improv/#comment-1718382</link><description>Those are simple tips but when applied would be very helpful.  I'm actually taking that in mind, the "yes, and..." because I personally have difficulties prolonging a conversation at times.  Thanks for sharing these tips.</description><dc:creator xmlns:dc="http://purl.org/dc/elements/1.1/">Paula</dc:creator><pubDate>Thu, 21 Aug 2008 12:01:26 -0000</pubDate></item></channel></rss>
