July 24, 2007Power Phrase: That’s Fascinating. Tell Me More
My father asked what I’d been up to yesterday and when I told him I spoke to the Society of Women Engineers he wanted to know all about it. I explained that I spoke about how technical people can be persuasive by communicating to all three brains. My dad couldn’t hear enough. At one point my father said,
* That’s fascinating. Tell me more.
When I got off the phone, my heart was happy. I thought about how many times over the years he’d asked me questions to learn from me. I bet that has something to do with my belief that I have something to say that is worth listening to..
I have many wonderful people in my life, but just a few that I really send the message that they respect my knowledge. My father, at 87 years old, is still one of those few. I feel blessed.
Interest is a powerful thing. Try it.
And if you have tales of people who inspired you with their interest, please post them in the blog.
