Nicholas Boothman is the author of How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less and How to Connect in Business in 90 Seconds or Less. A former fashion and advertising photographer of international renown, Nick became aware that his work for clients such as AT&T and Revlon depended on establishing instant rapport with his subjects. Determined to look deeper into the ways that people connect with each other, he put his cameras aside and earned a license as a Master Practitioner of Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP).

First Impressions and Conversation
Whether you like it or not, people decide how they feel about you in the first two seconds of seeing you, or hearing you, if it's on the phone. If they trust and like you, they will unconsciously tend to see the best in you and look for opportunities to say yes. If they don't trust and like you, the opposite is true.

Communication and Cooperation
Without communication, cooperation is impossible. The most important element of collaboration is the way we unconsciously use spoken, and body, language to motivate, and de-motivate ourselves and others. What sets a productive corporate culture apart is not only its ability to engender trust and respect but the way it uses language openly to share information, gain commitment and get people working together.

Stories Speak
What do Warren Buffet, Steve Jobs and Barack Obama have in common? They know facts tell and stories sell. They know that eighty percent of the time people make their decisions based on their emotions - even though they think they're being rational. That’s why they use STORYspeak, the oldest and most powerful language in the world, to fix their ideas in the heads and hearts of other people. This proven section shows how to talk less and say more with STORYspeak as you use it to connect and convince at home and at work in less than 90 seconds.
