I don’t want to knock social media; I use it a lot and it’s great for staying connected and reaching lots of people. It’s a great tool but it has its limitations when working to stand out and create a connection at an emotional level.

When everyone is aiming to be ‘significant’ it can detract from being memorable and having an emotional impact.

Here are 4 kick-ass ways to be memorable every day, with or without social media…

1. Listen deeply. Listen like you’re a video camera. Be the best listener in that person’s life.
2. Look people in the eye and smile.
3. Take your time and reach out to them. Real connection doesn’t happen on a post.
4. Look at what everyone else is doing and have the courage to do something different.
