"Present Yourself with Impact" - Style over Substance
Brief description of topic:
Ever wonder how some people are listened to and heard, while others' get lost in the noise? Ever wonder why you click with some people and don't with others. The answer has less to do with what you say and more to do with how you say it. People do business with people they like, or at the very least with people they feel are most like them. Learn to identify your communication style, while reading other's styles, which will then allow you to adapt for more effective communication and establishing trust.
