Make Eye Contact

Make Eye Contact

This is a good way to assert control.

Avoid looking down. It may indicate either aggressiveness or shyness, depending on how long you stare down.  In both cases, it is not inviting.

Listen Intently

Listen Intently

Use Your Hands

Use Your Hands

  • If you usually use your hands when you talk, be careful to match your gestures with what you're saying. Your hands should add meaning to your words.

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Ghazala Begum

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!

Giovanna Scalzone
