How to amplify your personal magnetism.

Joshua Uebergang explores improving your relationships by increasing your personal magnetism.

I'm going to straight out say that I think you would have heard all these tips at some time in your life—however, these are fundamental to increasing your personal magnetism and improving your relationships.

Athletes know that fundamentals of their sport are not only what most people consider 'the basics', and they also know that fundamentals are often more powerful than 'advanced tricks, tips, and techniques'. Fundamentals can produce exponential effects while advanced techniques give you a little extra edge over others and the situation.

There are people out there trying to learn the advanced skills and tactics, while simply learning the fundamentals and having them as an integral part of their living is what will be more beneficial to the person. I'm not just talking about this from a communication standpoint. Think about how it applies to sports, wealth, happiness, eating, and health.

The fundamentals of your personal magnetism and relationships need to constantly be revisited, practiced, and maintained because I bet that you're either not doing them at all or not doing them that well. People may want advanced communication skills, but often all they need are the fundamentals.

Here are three powerful fundamentals to improve your relationships. (Beware of that! Relationships! These are communication skills that are just as useful—if not more useful—with your partner and those close to you. Keep that in mind as you read the principles below.)

1 Be interested in people. 'I've heard that one before' I hear you say. Good. But are you actually interested in people instead of thinking you 'know it'? The next time you have a conversation with someone, be interested in them. Ask questions, empathize, get excited with them.

This isn't just a social skill, it's a fundamental relationship skill. Get interested in your partner's life. Get interested in your co-worker's hobbies. Get interested in your child's sport.

By becoming interested, you'll become interesting. You'll also meet a fundamental need of the person you are showing interest in—the need to be listened to, admired, and understood.

2 Make people feel important. Admire other people's accomplishments, compliment them, and do other things to make them feel important.
