THE IT FACTOR: Be the One People Like, Listen to, and Remember
By Mark Wiskup
ISBN#978-08144-74372 $14.95
Some people have what almost seems like magnetic appeal. They draw us in, and when they speak, we listen. These charismatic individuals subtly take charge of every meeting, conversation, and social interaction, and make honest and powerful connections, while those less fortunate stand aside in quiet awe. There is no name for this enviable “talent” for engaging and influencing others. So often we just say that these people have “it”. But the good news is, “it” is not something with which you’re born. In fact, with effective guidance, anyone can develop THE IT FACTOR, and reap its priceless benefits.
