This activity has a span of 21 days.  From there, you will continue to use this activity to increase your confidence.  Here are the details as explained in the video above.

Activity:

  1. Days 1 – 7: When you walk by someone, look them in the eye, acknowledge them and give them a smile.
  2. Days 8 – 14: When you walk by someone, look them in the eye, acknowledge them by giving them a smile, and then speak with a simple “hi!”.
  3. Days 15 – 21: When you walk by someone, look them in the eye, acknowledge them by giving them a smile, and then speak with a simple “hi!”. The last step is to start a conversation.  Do this as you’re standing in a line – at the grocery store, at the gas station, at the bank, etc.

You can start by asking closed-ended conversation starters and work your way into open-ended conversation starters.

That’s it!!!
