Breaking the Ice

Do you know that icy feeling? It can cut right through you when you’re in a strange place being ignored by a roomful of strangers. And, it can freeze you in your tracks the moment you know you’re going to share a long elevator ride with some other person. Whatever the situation, the silence can be chilling as you struggle for something, anything, to say. If that describes you, congratulations, you’re normal! For most of us, it's hard to “break the ice” with people we don’t know. But sometimes that shyness or uncertainty can keep you from meeting the most important people in your life!

• Understand your own “Ice-Q”
• Overcome your fears
• Create grand openings

Whether you’re encountering strangers in your business or trying to be more comfortable approaching people you already know, Breaking the Ice is a book you’ll want to keep close for reference and review.
