You can’t connect with someone if you’re forcing yourself onto them.
Too often, some will try to espouse their many virtues in a first or second meeting. What accolades they believe they’ve accrued over the years. What benefits they provide. How great they are.
The thing is, there are those who will eagerly listen. But they’re likely not the ones to move you to the next step. The ones you want in your corner.
For those people, you have to offer, not take. Have your ears open, and your mouth closed.
