“Tickets go on sale shortly for the Taylor Swift concert. If I get through, how many tickets should I try to get,” my husband says over the phone.
A few minutes later I received the following screenshot text with the caption, “Not looking good”.

What is it about Taylor that people love?

- She is so talented
- You can find yourself in all of her music

Translation: Taylor is charismatic and makes people feel seen and heard.
Yes, Taylor’s talent is a huge part of her success but her connection with her fans is what moves her to superstar status.

And clearly, people can’t get enough of it!
If Taylor can connect with millions of people around the world, you can, too!
Okay, probably not the millions of worldwide fans part, but certainly, you can make connections with people in your lives.
Wouldn’t it be cool to give others the gift of feeling seen and heard?
Nonverbal communication is part of building connections with others.
And I’m here for you.
Charisma and connection can be learned.
So let me ask, are you…
“…Ready For It?”
Your co-pilot (who hopes you get her Taylor Swift reference),
P.S. Are you a Swiftie?
If so, I’d love to hear why you adore her! And I’d like to know your favorite song as well.
