Make your conversations fascinating by using your subjects' own feelings! Plenty of exercises & experiments for you to go out and try. Don't take my word for it--it works! The Question, the Hook...

Here’s a really easy little conversational technique to jumpstart the momentum. Read the whole thing by clicking here! (You'll be able to read it online, or download it as a PDF or word doc).
