Meet Lauren Sanders

 

We recently connected with Lauren Sanders and have shared our conversation below.

Lauren, we’re thrilled to have you sharing your thoughts and lessons with our community. So, for folks who are at a stage in their life or career where they are trying to be more resilient, can you share where you get your resilience from?

I’ve gained my resilience from surviving many life challenges despite the odds stacked against me. I’ve always been a fighter and don’t give up very easily. Never have. I’m the type of person that’ll continue to search for solutions even when I’ve been told there aren’t any. I’ve never been easily influenced by others and maintain a mindset that is always searching for answers. I’ve always believed that most problems have a contributing factor that can be recognized and considered. Moreover, I truly believe my “resilience” is God-given because there’s no possible way I could be built like this without him molding me into the person that stands in front of you today. There’s a side of me that occasionally gets weak and wonders why life has dealt the cards it has for me and for so many others. But, God is faithful and he always picks me back up, even when I grow weary.

Appreciate the insights and wisdom. Before we dig deeper and ask you about the skills that matter and more, maybe you can tell our readers about yourself?

I additionally provide expert advice on dating and relationships for Datingadvice.com, WikiHow, and Datingforthesoul.com (my online magazine about love, dating, and relationships).

If you had to pick three qualities that are most important to develop, which three would you say matter most?

Three skills that are the most impactful during my journey as a professional matchmaker include my ability to interact well with people, patience, and observation skills. In the matchmaking industry, one must be able to possess the necessary skills to virtually get a long with anybody. You’ll encounter many different personalities as a matchmaker. Therefore, you must be able to accommodate different personalities, cultures, and beliefs without judgement. You must also be able to adjust to different styles of communication.

Patience is also something you must learn when dealing with individuals who are looking for love. Everybody has their own set of preferences and must-haves (even when they may be a little unreasonable), and you have to learn how to be as understanding and non-judgmental as possible.

Observation skills are at the core of matchmaking. It’s how we form compatible matches. From the moment a person begins speaking, we are observing them and assessing whether or not they will pair well with another one of our eligible singles. Good observation skills are very necessary as a professional matchmaker.

As we end our chat, is there a book you can leave people with that’s been meaningful to you and your development?

The Five Love Languages by Gary Chapman has played a very important role in the way I view relationships. People receive love the best when they receive it in a way they understand it. In addition, they also typically provide love in a way that makes the most sense to them. In a partnership, it is vital for both partners to understand each other’s love languages or else the relationship will likely not work out. It’s even more crucial for both partners to be willing to actively operate in the language their partner prefers to receive love. One simply cannot dish out love the way they prefer to without considering their partner’s love language.

I have taken my understanding of The Five Love Languages and heavily applied it to my career as a professional matchmaker. Both individuals most be able to accommodate each other’s love languages in order for a successful, healthy, relationship to occur.
