If you have a laptop or a phone that has lots of apps or windows open, each one of those apps and windows is performing less well because the other ones are open. You have limited bandwidth and you're spreading it thin. When I am putting pressure on myself to say the right thing in the right way at the right time to be perfect, I am actually putting so much pressure on myself.

And if they're good at what they do, they'll help make their content accessible to you. So we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to feel like I need to be the expert. I need to ask the best question. I need to have the best feedback. That's a tremendous amount of pressure to put on ourselves. Instead, we say, hey, I just want to connect. And I'm curious about what the other person says.

That reduces that pressure. It makes it easier for the other person to share. So my mother-in-law had a black belt in small talk. She was amazing. And her secret was three words, tell me more. So just expressing curiosity, I think Hala will help you now. You need to do your research. You need to understand the domain that the person's in.

I'm using all this bandwidth to judge and evaluate and assess my perfection or lack thereof that I actually have very little bandwidth to actually do the communication. So when you give yourself permission to just get it done, I like to say it's about connection, not perfection. If I just connect with the person, if I just convey my information, I then free up all this bandwidth

But just getting the person talking, demonstrating interest, being curious, allowing them space to respond, that's the best way, I think, to get conversation going and to elevate your knowledge level and appropriateness of what you're saying.
