Hey, just picked this up – I know, cazy late right?

Anyhow – great post, I like the pace and lead thing, pretty much the rest of it I know.

But I was reading through and thought – hmmm I know all of this and still…. shucks then I got to the end and you said, “Have lots of money, be very funny and be stunningly good looking” and I thought phew! that’s that one covered then… No worries.

Well, Ashton Kutcher said that he felt like he didn't exist when he was talking to Bill Clinton because Bill was focused too much on Demi. Anthonys last blog post..Burger King Jobs

Hi Tim – the weather has been sunny here the last few days, so you might be lucky. Those are good tips and all easily learnable except 8.

@ Maria – I agree on the focus one too. I need to re-write the damn post because of you and Jens ;-)

@ Deb – I thought as much ;-)

@ Ian – Glad you hung in there Ian and thanks for the feedback.

@ Laurie – The really good ones also use hypnotic language patterns with a high level of skill!

Some charismatic preachers send shivers up my spine. They hide their real agenda behind their charisma. Being charismatic can often be a manipulative tactic. But it can also be a good thing. Who wants to hear a dud speaker for an hour? Eek!

Good points to consider. Does it help to include the person’s name in the conversations? “Hey Tim how you doing?”
I think it can be good if not over used. Then it starts to sound fake.

Almost gave up on this post when I got to Clinton with no immediate link between the previous two stories. Was starting to wonder if you'd somehow mixed up three separate articles in some bizarre Wordpress quirk. Then just as I was about to move onto something else, you elegantly, even brilliantly, wove the strands together and it turned out to be a great article. As always. But I was starting to wonder - around about the point Clinton hid his cigar. Ian | Quantum Learnings last blog post..How are you?

Tim,
Strangely enough, he kinda was! (haha)
I’m generally pretty immune to being star-struck (except when I met Jimmy Stewart….but I mean, it was Jimmy Stewart, for crying out loud!)

But there really was something about BC that just….my, my.
(I’m embarrassed now. Thanks. ;-) )

All the best!
