DeleteMy husband says I am able to talk to almost anyone and make it go well. I learned that from my mother. But I am sure I could learn a few more pointers, especially for my relationship with him!
ReplyDeleteLearning to be able to engage/converse with almost anyone and have it go well is really an art form... I'm pretty shy when I don't people very well so can be quiet at parties and public speaking makes me cringe!
