1.) SMILE
Something very simple to do but extremely effective. Any time you walk in a room “smile.” It’s so easy, but sometimes we forget about it because are constantly changing which affects our body language.

3.) LISTEN TO OTHERS

Ask about their life, their passions, their family, etc. and take a serious interest. Remember people’s names and use their names when talking to him. They’ll know that you’re listening!
4.) MAKE PEOPLE LAUGH
