How to Talk to Anyone 92 Little Tricks for Big Success in Relationships (Leil Lowndes) (z-lib.org)

Technique #22
Ac-c en-tu-ate the Pos-i-tive
When first meeting someone, lock your closet door and
save your skeletons for later. You and your new good
friend can invite the skeletons out, have a good laugh,
and dance over their bones later in the relationship. But
now’s the time, as the old song says, to “ac-cen-tu-ate
the pos-i-tive and elim-i-nate the neg-a-tive.”

You’ve heard folks whine, “I can’t go to the party, I haven’t got a
thing to wear.” When was the last time you heard, “I can’t go to
the party, I haven’t got a thing to say?”
When going to a gathering with great networking possibili-
ties, you naturally plan your outfit and make sure your shoes will
match. And, of course, you must have just the right tie or correct
color lipstick. You puff your hair, pack your business cards, and
you’re off.
Whoa! Wait a minute. Didn’t you forget the most important
thing? What about the right conversation to enhance your image?
Are you actually going to say anything that comes to mind—or
doesn’t—at the moment? You wouldn’t don the first outfit your
groping hand hits in the darkened closet, so you shouldn’t leave
your conversing to the first thought that comes to mind when fac-
ing a group of expectant, smiling faces. You will, of course, fol-
low your instincts in conversation. But at least be prepared in case
inspiration doesn’t hit.
The best way to ensure you’re conversationally in the swing of
things is to listen to a newscast just before you leave. What’s hap-
pening right now in the world—all the fires, floods, air disasters,
toppled governments, and stock market crashes—pulverizes into

great conversational fodder, no matter what crowd you’re circu-
lating in.
It is with some embarrassment that I must attribute the fol-
lowing technique to a businesswoman in the world’s oldest pro-
fession. For a magazine article I was writing, I interviewed one of
the savviest operators in her field, Sidney Biddle Barrows, the
famed Mayflower Madam.
Sidney told me she had a house rule when she was in business.
All of her female “independent contractors” were directed to keep
up with the daily news so they could be good conversationalists
with their clients. This was not just Sidney’s whim. Feedback from
her employees had revealed that 60 percent of her girls’ work hour
was spent in chatting and only 40 percent in satisfying the cus-
tomers’ needs. Thus she instructed them to read the daily news-
paper or listen to a radio broadcast before leaving for an
