6. Avoid the sidewalk shuffle by looking intently over the person’s shoulder, or between people’s heads in a group. Your gaze shows them where you’re going. They’ll drift toward the opposing side/create a gap to avoid you.
7. When you’re studying/learning something new, teach a friend how to do/about it. Let them ask questions. If you’re able to teach something well, you understand it.
8. People will remember not what you said but how you made them feel.
9. For interviews, we recommend altering your psychological state beforehand. Tell yourself “I’ve known these people all my life. We’re old friends catching up. I can’t wait to see them.” Visualize the experience, shaking hands, making eye contact, having conversation. What things can you not wait to tell them? Hold an open pose … stand with your legs apart, hands on your hips, and shoulders back while doing this and smile. This may sound cliche but you are in charge of your own psychological state and the power of suggestion is strong.
10. If you get yourself to be really happy and excited to see other people, they will react the same to you. It doesn’t always happen the first time, but it will definitely happen next time.
