How to (Actually) Approach Anyone

Let your first-impression hit different

Even though it sounds petrifying AF…

You CAN learn how to approach anyone. 

Just like reading and writing — it’s a skill. 

Don’t let the internet seduce you into hibernating at home all day. 

If you’re struggling with social success…

Here’s how to change that — 

ICEBREAKERS 

Before you go scuba diving in the Antarctic — break the ice. 

This is where most people fail, because overcoming the fear of rejection takes effort. 

But once you get the vibes flowing — there’s nothing to think about. 

Here’s how you can heat up even the coldest waters: 

1. Ask a fun question AND/OR
2. Drop a compliment that would make Stinson proud 

These are my to-go questions to kick things off…

• How’s your day treating you? 
• What’s your favorite food spot around here? 
• Where did you get that?
• Where are you from? (best results while traveling) 

Tailor these according to your environment. 

For compliments…

Make it count. 

“Nice shirt” isn’t going to levitate your aura. 

Here’s a revised edition: 

“Nice shirt! That color really suits you. Where did you get it from?” 

See the difference? 

Be genuine, be specific, and add flair.

People can see through generic flattery like bubble wrap. 

Icebreakers work 99% of the time. 

Why? 

Everyone secretly craves a little bit of love. 

So…

The real benefit of keeping icebreakers these on hand? 

There’s no excuse left to hit GO. 

Remember — the biggest L is not trying at all. 

Trust me…

You’ll be thanking yourself after your hotline is blinging.
