Welcome. I'm Kevin Miller. This is a podcast for your personal evolution. In this episode,

how to have a compelling and relatable online personality. I find that when we communicate

with others in any way, we're either helping or hurting our relationship with them. Yet every day,

more and more of our communication is digital.

I cut my relationship teeth as a kid on Dale Carnegie's book, How to Win Friends and

Influence People. But this was face-to-face focused. And how do we win friends and influence people

from a digital perspective? A few years ago, I sat down with an expert, Erica Duon. She wrote a book titled

Digital Body Language, How to Build Trust and Connection no matter the Distance. Erica says if you look

at the next text, email, or direct message as simply a method to deliver a message and not as

an actual human interaction,

you are missing out. And if you think you're all caps or your exclamation points or your

brevity or your emojis that they're just sufficient, well, you're about to get schooled in this

conversation. And ultimately it comes down to, you know, if you continue to do as you have, you're missing out

on some opportunity to build a relationship in your digital communications. And I think if you

make some adjustments that you're about to hear about, you can use every text email or Zoom to

solidify and enhance your relationships instead of possibly eroding them. So this is an opportunity to increase

all of our relational success. If you want to take what you hear in these shows and integrate them

into your life, that's what I'm here for as your guide. I've got a lot of people I work with on

taking their purpose and integrating

it into their work or business. Either way, you want to connect with me and see if this would be a path

for you. You can find me at kevinmiller.com or email me at kmiller at kevinmiller.com. All right,

coming up next, Erica Duon, we're going to talk about digital body language
