Talking to strangers is good for business
More than 600 corporations, thousands of small businesses, and six of the world’s leading business schools know the better you are at connecting and communicating face-to-face with all kinds of different people, the faster you’ll pull ahead of the competition.
That’s why they contacted Nicholas Boothman.
“Eighty percent of the people who try to increase their serendipity by talking to strangers are successful. It takes only thirty days and most people report their luck increases by an average of forty percent.”
Coming Soon!
Whatever you want in this life—a dream job, increased sales or a circle of friends—chances are you’ll need a stranger’s help to get it.
Strangers don’t only hold the keys to joy and knowledge, they also hold the keys to something even more exciting: serendipity.
Serendipity is discovering something even better while you’re busy looking for something else. Like looking for a needle in a haystack and finding the farmer’s daughter—or son!
Serendipity plays a vital role in research, romance, work, life and play.
Using true stories and action steps Nicholas Boothman shows how to find joy, knowledge and lucky breaks in just thirty days – without feeling awkward.
