Recommendation

In an era that reveres networking, when Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter are the new town squares and the number of your online friends and followers is your social currency, few issues are more vital than likability. Connections guru Michelle Tillis Lederman provides 11 sensible laws to enhance your likability. Her rules are elementary and predictable, though she leaves out the most obvious and all-encompassing one: be nice. getAbstract warmly recommends her rules to those who need help socializing. If you are socially out of touch, no matter how skilled you are in the library, in the lab or at the laptop, Lederman’s book will help you connect.

Take-Aways

  • Like yourself and others will like you.
  • Always be authentic.
  • First impressions – however unreliable – count the most, so try to make a strong first impression. Exude a positive attitude.

    I have always found that no matter what the relationship is listening plays the biggest part in communication. To hear each others thoughts helps you to build stronger feelings of respect and understanding. It is important to be kind to yourself and to others and to be yourself (your real self)
