While browsing through the ‘Videos’ section of CNN IBN, today I came across a beautiful show called ‘Zindagi Live’ and after a long time I enjoyed a talk show so much that tears rolled down more than once. The guest today was Boman Irani.
Without digressing from the topic, I must let you know that one of the rare qualities what Boman has is: To make people feel special. This came out consistently from most of the people who knew him. What is even more compelling is that he has retained this despite all the success.
Upon being asked why he makes people feel important, he says, “I make others feel important because I want to feel special too.” Nothing new, but I find this missing in many of us. There is no dearth of people who mistreat others to prove their importance, but Boman certainly does it differently.
His wife shares, “Boman always looks for the name badge and makes sure to call the person by name, be it a bar or a movie theatre.” Considering my bad track of name recalling, this is indeed a very helpful tip for me.
This reminds me of a few basic things we can do to make people feel special:
a. Control the urge to speak. Listen!
b. Be specific while giving compliments
c. Display positive body language. Smile!
d. Shed arrogance, humility is appreciated by all, and not to forget,
e. Call them by name.
