How often have you talked with another person who never looked you in the eye during the entire conversation? Or they have looked at your briefly then their eyes shift to some point behind you or even shift to their phones or tablets. How have you felt while trying to have a discussion with a person who was not looking at you?
65% of our communication skills comes from non-verbal communication
and this includes eye contact. The eyes are often expressed as ‘windows to the soul’. Our eyes reflect our sincerity and integrity.
When I was a young teenager, I had a relative tell me repeatedly that I had the most beautiful, expressive eyes. This relative went on to explain that by looking at my eyes they could see my thoughts and feelings. I was naturally very shy, and it seemed I often got in trouble with my mom without saying a word. In my young teenage brain, I figured it had to do with these expressive eyes my relative referred too. So, I decided I would not look anyone in the eye. This seemed to help until the time came to enter the work force. I had to work hard at training myself to look people in the eye. If you want to become a master of eye contact, it’s going to take practice.
Making eye contact demonstrates that:
- You’re a good listener. (Good eye contact indicates your focused and paying attention)
- Builds a connection with the other person
- Builds trust
- Conveys concern
- Gives you credibility
As in my experience, we can learn the skill of making and keeping eye contact... it takes practice!
Eye contact is one of the most powerful means of communicating confidence and conviction
. If you are one of those who struggle to make and keep eye contact, set a goal and work hard this week to make eye contact with everyone you encounter.

The funds for this event will go to pay for mammograms for those women in our rural areas uninsured or under insured using a Mobile Mammography Unit. Idaho is last of all states for women getting checked and our eight counties are at the bottom of Idaho's list. We can change this through this mobile unit. Agricultural, dairy, smaller towns, and far away nooks and crannies are where we will go to get these done. We will have Spanish speaking greeter on board with a tech. Help us make a difference. If you cannot attend, consider a donation, sponsorship, live or silent auction item. If you are a chef, caterer and would like to showcase your specialty dishes contact Terry Rowe at
