Hi everyone
I've had so many requests to repeat this Boost from May 2009 I thought this would be a good time to dust it off. This month's Boost will be out next week.Warm regards Nicholas

Here are 5 ways to be smarter, socially when you walk into a room full of of strangers - in 90 seconds or less.
1.Wear great clothes - more people will take you seriously (don't over do it - don't be better than anyone else)
2.Head for the middle (popular people always go to the middle of the room in restaurants, parties classrooms etc.),
3.Move more slowly than usual. People who move fractionally more slowly than others tend to get noticed and come across as confident and sexy. Get into the habit so it becomes natural: otherwise don't bother.
4.3-second rule. Notice someone and within three seconds go over and say something. Do this several times.
5.Ask "Talk-show" question. The best way to start a conversation is with a statement followed by an open question. "I hear Seattle's a fantastic place. If I only had 3 hours what should I see?" Remember to give feedback.
