A Sunny Disposition
Likability has something to do with how you look, but a lot more to do with how you make people feel. Likeable people give loud and clear signals of their willingness to be sociable; they reveal that their public communication channels are open. Embedded in these signals is evidence of self-confidence, sincerity, and trust.
Instinctively, we assess, undress and best-guess each other. And if we can’t present ourselves fast and favorably, we run the risk of being politely, or impolitely, passed over.
“Nick Boothman’s brilliant stroke is to guarantee that within the first 90 seconds of meeting someone you’ll be communicating like old, trusted friends.” – Marty Edelston, Publisher, Bottom Line/Personal
