Author AJ Kumar

Power. Persuasion. Influence. These are things that we all lust over day in
and day out. It is part of human nature to want to be in control (hence the
reason we fear death and public speaking, the outcomes are unsure and
hence, we are frightened of them.) This will teach you five of the most
EFFECTIVE to be powerfully influential and gain control, whether it is in
your business dealings or when you are out and about trying to gain
access to that really exclusive club.

say something and you will just seem to agree with it. They just have a
way with words and we find ourselves wanting to go along with whatever

“Excuse, may I cut in front, I am in a rush.”
