Communicate Like You’re Dancing the Tango

💃  The Tango

The Tango, the Argentine dance set to dramatic music, involves a dancing couple holding each other closely and making abrupt – yet graceful – movements, turning in one direction and then turning again in reverse.

🍕  Nelda & the Pizza Guy

Nelda died in her late 90’s and I attended her funeral service a few days ago. The large chapel was almost standing room only!

One of the best eulogies at her funeral shared why Nelda was so popular.

Nelda’s family member said, “Nelda was interesting, AND Nelda was interested.”

“Nelda always had something wise or fun to say, AND she always made time to ask about the other.”

“In fact, her plumber would fix the water issues and bring the pizza so they could catch up!”

💃 + 🍕  What does Nelda’s communication expertise have to do with the Tango and you?

To build rapport and gain trust you must be interesting and interested. You won’t gain rich relationships with only one of these talents. You need both.

💃🕺🏻 Your Tango lesson

Be interesting + be interested.

If you combine both of these moves you’ll dance your way to rewarding connections.

With a nod to Nelda, it takes two to Tango.
