Next NSENG meeting is Tue Feb 18th, 6:15-8:30pm at National Louis University , 5202 Old Orchard Rd - 3rd floor in Skokie, featuring

"How to Turn a Job Interview into a Powerful Conversation" plus a round of networking.

Research shows that when an interviewer likes you, two powerful things happen:

1) The qualities you have suddenly become more important to doing the job successfully.

2) The skills you don't have automatically are discounted.

 

So, given that, how do you create a faster positive connection in an interview? That's where TEDx speaker and author,   LYNNE FRANKLIN , comes in. She's an amazingly engaging presenter on persuasive communications and here are some of the topics that she'll be covering:

 

Here is some background on Lynne:

Lynne Franklin is a neuroscience nerd, a persuasive communications expert and one of Chicago's premier presenters. She works with business leaders who want to stop paying the high price for poor communication by creating more and better connections and building more confidence. Lynne is the Immediate Past President of the National Speakers Association Illinois Chapter, which comes through in her very interactive presentation style. She is also the author of  Getting Others to Do What You Want and she has presented a  TEDx Talk   on how to become a mind reader that has gone viral.
