Product Description
People are hardwired from birth to make instinctive and immediate appraisals of others, leaving us with only a few seconds to make a favorable impression. So, is it possible to make a warm and meaningful connection with someone in less than ninety seconds? Nicholas Boothman, author of How To Make People Like You In 90 Seconds or Less introduces a revolutionary approach to face-to-face communication that will help anyone succeed at making meaningful connections. Boothman has taught this technique of "rapport-by-design" to thousands of people through public and private seminars he conducts throughout North America.

Amazon.com Review
The average person's attention span lasts about 30 seconds. That means first and immediate impressions count, and big. In this modern-day update of Dale Carnegie's classic How to Win Friends and Influence People, former fashion photographer Nicholas Boothman instructs you in how to mold those 30 seconds to your greatest advantage and connect with others at business and social functions. Boothman, now a lecturer and licensed master practitioner of neurolinguistic programming (the art and science of how the brain affects human connections), says that the key to making others like you quickly lies in establishing a rapport: you have to find out what you have in common or, if you seemingly have nothing in common, purposely try to become like the other person for a short time. He then goes on to offer simple techniques for getting a rapport going: adopt a positive attitude; make sure your words, tone, and gestures are all saying the same thing; synchronize your attitude and body movements to those of another person's (which makes the person feel comfortable with you--although he or she may not know why); and ask lots of open-ended questions. Boothman also describes how to figure out a stranger's favored sense for receiving information about the world--some rely on visual cues, others on auditory or kinesthetic (touch) input--and use it to your best advantage. If discovering how to connect with others is the secret to business and life success, as Boothman contends, then employing the strategies in this book will make you instantly likeable and give you a leg up on the competition. --Nancy Monson
