Interesting people 7 things they all have in commonInteresting people 7 things they all have in commonIve written about a lot of research from experts ongetting people to like you, beinginfluential andhaving great conversations.Whats the best way to use all this information to be more interesting?1) Dont be boringSometimes the best offense is a good defense. Look at it like the Hippocratic Oath of conversationsDo no harm.Were all terrible at realizing when we bore others because, well, we all think were just fascinating.The 1 tip for never boring anyone comes fromScott AdamsBe brief, be positive.If youre always to the point and stay upbeat, its extremely hard for anyone to accuse you of being poor company.But sometimes you do need to speak a little longer to make sure things dont get stilted.The species of Civilized Conversationoffers another good tipIs anyone asking you questions about what youre saying?If not, maybe its time to end the story or ask the other person a question.(More rapport building techniques arehere.)2) The most captivating people are often good listenersImpressing people can be great but it can also devolve into status jockeying, one-upmanship and envy.People love to talk about themselves and there are a dearth of good listeners.Let the other person talk.Itgives their brain as much pleasure as food or moneyTalking about ourselves- whether in a personal conversation or through social media sites like Facebook and Twitter- triggers the same sensation of pleasure in the brain as food or moneyYou can make an excellent impression by saying amazingly little.Ironically, the people we like the most often say the least.(Learn how to listen like a hostage negotiatorhere.)3) Talk about the other persons interestsThis is straight fromDale Carnegieand if youre not that socially adept, this is as straightforward as it gets.Why struggle to guess what most peoplemightfind generically interesting?Ask people what theyve been up to or what their hobbies are. Then talk about that.Youre now 80% of the way there.If you know about the subjectthe similarity will anleihe you.If you dont, ask them to explain and bea great listeneras they talk about something they love.(More on the science behind Dale Carnegies classichere.)4) Have three good storiesComedians dont just talk aboutanything when theyre onstage. They have their act rehearsed.You dont just trot intoa job interviewand say whatevers on your mind.Always have three good stories on hand that reliably entertain, inform or engage.Another tip fromScott AdamsPeople are generally more interested in stories about people rather than things.Drama, gossip and reality TV are successful for a reason. We all find human behavior fascinating.On the other hand, most people dont want to hear about the features on your new iPhone.(More on how to tell good storieshere.)5) Dont forget charismaIts not all about the words. Some people are engaging but if what they said was transcribed, it would be unimpressi ve.When youre speaking emotionally, the words only account for 7% of what get conveyed. Seven percent.Voice tone and body language are far more important.ViaThe Heart of Social Psychology A Backstage View of a Passionate ScienceOne often quoted study (Mehrabian Ferris, 1967) found thatof all the information conveyed to another person when we say something that is emotional (not informational), only 7 percent is contained in the actual meaning of the words we use.Laugh. Smile.Be passionate. Gesture. Modulate your voice. Dont just sweat the words.(Heres how to becharismatic.)6) Be somewhere interestingGot a say in where youll be at, as with a date or meeting?Pick someplace stimulating.Context matters.In general,were lousy about realizing where our feelings are coming from.Research showsexcitement from any source is often associated with the person youre with - even if theyre not the cause of it.Why do people find musicians so captivating? The music and the crowd stimulates emotions - and we viscerally associate those with the band.MIT Behavioral EconomistDan Arielyrecountsa relevant study he didWhy does this happen? Ariely thinks it might have something to do with misattribution of emotions Sometimes we have an emotion and we dont know where its coming from, so we kind of stick it on something that seems sensible. In other words, your strong feelings about the music might make you think youre having strong feelings about the lead singer.(More on the power of contexthere.)7) Live an interesting lifeRemember the theme ofDon QuixoteIf you want to be a knight, act like a knight.If you dont read, watch and think about generic things, generic things are less likely to come out of your mouth.This doesnt need to be expensive or difficult.Hang out more often with the most interesting people you know.The friends you spend time withdramatically affect your behavior- whether you like it or not.The Longevity Project, which studied over 1000 people from youth to death had this to sayThe groups you associate with often determine the type of person you become.InThe junges unternehmen of You, Reid Hoffman and Ben Casnocha talk abouthow the best way to improve particular qualities in yourself is to spend time with people who are already like that.The best and most reliable way to appear interesting is to live an interesting life.And to pursue that ends up being far more rewarding than merely making a good impression on others.Join 315,000 readers.Get a free weekly update via emailhere.Related posts8 Things The Worlds Most Successful People All Have In CommonWhat 10 things should you do every day to improve your life?How To Make Your Life Better By Sending Five Simple EmailsThis column first appeared at Barking Up the Wrong Tree.

Enlarging Text on Websites That Use Small Text

Enlarging Text on Websites That Use Small TextEnlarging Text on Websites That Use Small TextDespite the advances in modern computer technology, there is a common complaint among young and old alike, and that is the dreaded website with text that too small to comfortably read or, worse yet, impossible to read. Especially for the sight impaired it is quite disturbing to see an alarming trend in the number of website pages that open and display text that is too small for the human eye to read, even with the aid of glasses. And this doesnt apply to that age-old dreaded fine print you see in disclaimers, terms, and privacy policies. You have come to expect that, especially from businesses that dont want you to know that theres a 20% re-stocking fee should you decide to return those shoes that looked better online. The bigger problem is the actual content, and even sidebar links displayed on websites that you either want to read or need to read. You Cant Fight City Hall Even some gove rnment agencies (including the IRS) have begun to incorporate tiny, unreadable text into their websites. You may find this particularly curious because it is these very federal and state governments that regulate and enforce the Americans with Disabilities Act and advocate for accessibility. But, as the saying goes You cant fight City Hall. Instead of fighting City Hall its best to take matters into your own hands. Unless you are severely vision impaired it is quite easy to enlarge (or reduce) text to make it mora readable on your computer screen. The best part is you dont have to spend the time or money to purchase or download special software. Microsoft Internet Explorer (All Versions) If you encounter a website with small text using Internet Explorer use the drop-down menu in your taskbar to select the following options to increase or decrease the fonts appearance View Text Size Largest, Larger, Medium, Smaller, Smallest Mozilla Firefox and Netscape 6.2, 7.0 and 8.1 The following steps will help you enlarge or reduce the appearance of text on a web page viewed in Firefox or Netscape. Begin by opening the browser window to the page you want to either view in larger textor make the text smaller. To Enlarge Text Press and hold down the control (Ctrl) key on your keyboard and then press the plus () key. Repeat Ctrl untilthe text reaches the most comfortable size for you.To Reduce Text Size Press and hold down the control (Ctrl) key on your keyboard and then press the minus (-) key. Repeat Ctrl - until the text is the desired size tofit yourviewing screen. Apple Safari (All Versions) Use the following steps to enlarge or reduce the appearance of text on a web page in Apple Safari. Begin by opening the browser window to the page you want to either view in larger text or make the text smaller. To Enlarge Text Press and hold down the Apple key on your keyboard and then press the plus () key. Keep repeating this process until you can easily and comfor tably read all of the text.To Reduce Text Size Press and hold down the Apple key on your keyboard and then press the minus (-) key. Keep repeating this process until the text is the most viewing size for you and fits within your monitor screen. There is only caveat to fixing this annoying and often troublesome computer situation. You will not be able to do these steps on a mobile device because of the lack of the control tab. However, given the speed at which technology is advancing, it wont be long before this IT issue is resolved.

The one thing you didnt know about your to-do list

The one thing you didnt know about your to-do listThe one thing you didnt know about your to-do listHave you ever noticed that some tasks on your to-do list get crossed off right away, making you feel like a productivity superstar? And other tasks well, they tend to stay on the list and no matter how hard you try, you cant get them to budge becauseTheyre overwhelmingYoure not sure where to startYouve got to rely on other people to do parts of itAnd so they stubbornly stay put on your to-do list, mocking you, shaking your confidence as someone who gets stuff done.Heres the problem.What youre thinking is a task is really a project in disguise. People who are able to move mountains fast know the difference.Lets take a look at the twoYou see, a task is something that will take one or two steps to complete. You schedule a time to do it, you take action, and finito its complete.On the other hand, a project is something thats much more complex. It may includeSeveral tasks or stepsStakehold ers or people that are invested in the outcomeThe need for several meetingsOther people or departments to get parts of it completedOutsourcing pieces of itA budgetNo wonder it wont budge.So lets take a different approach. First, confirm this is a project and not a task. Ask yourself if any of these applyMany tasks or stepsRequiring input or approval from someone elseThe need to outsource part of it to someone else to completeA big deadlineMany meetings to discuss issuesProgress reports to managementA monetary budgetThe impulse to curl up in a ball every time you think about it (just kidding no, not really)Now that its clear youre dealing with a project, you need to start thinking like a project manager.Step 1 Take it off your to-do listProjects are special, they get a time and action plan. This can be as simple as using a spreadsheet or a more sophisticated project-management app like Asana.Step 2 Get clear on the objective of the projectWhat is the intended outcome? Why? Who is re questing this project? What will make it a success? How will you measure success?Step 3 Agree on a deadlineWhen does this project need to be completed? Is there any flexibility with that date? What are the consequences of not meeting that date?Step 4 Discuss the budgetHow much will this cost? What happens if you go over budget? Who needs to approve the budget?Step 5 Create your plan of actionThis is where the party startsFirst, visualize the completed project.Then make a list of every single task (yup were back at tasks) that the project will require.Next, assign a due date for every task, and note if someone other than you will handle that task.Projects tend to be high-maintenance. They can be demanding, unrealistic and have a mind of their own. So a few things to keep in mindPay attention to the details. For example, if one part of the project changes, what else or who else is affected? Be open to making regular adjustments to your plan of action.Remain flexible and creative. How can you save time or money? Is there something you can do now while waiting on someone else?Be considerate. How will your deadlines impact someone else? Your priority may not be someone elses priority. Will your co-workers or counterparts have enough time to complete their part?Communicate. Let others involved know whats going on. If something is off track let people know sooner versus later.Completing your project should give you a reason to celebrate (or take a long nap). Id celebrate and take a nap Then look for the next project that may be hiding on your to-do list as a task. It will never trick you again.Mimi Bishop is a productivity + time management expert and a certified life coach.

4 wardrobe essentials for nailing that interview outfit

4 wardrobe essentials for nailing that interview outfit4 wardrobe essentials for nailing that interview outfitPreparing for an interview can cause a lot of unwanted stress and anxiety. But the more you prepare for an interview, the better off you are - and that includes what you plan to wear to it Whether the interview is for a professional position or for a creative one, the way you look has an instant impact on those who you meet.Its not always fair, but it is true, which is why its so important to wear an outfit that exudes confidence, poise, and respect.Below are four pieces of clothing that will help give you the confidence you need to crush the interview, including styling tips and tricks to present yourself at your very best.Power SuitA power suit says so much without saying anything at all. Walking into an interview wearing a perfectly fitting suit screams I want this job. A business suit is a timeless interview outfit, but the power suit is a trendy and chic version of it. Take your basic black pantsuit and think of a fashion-forward rendition of it.Whether its a tapered leg, a boyfriend fit, a windowpane print, or a bright, bold hue, you can now find a suit that matches both your personality and your attitude. Pair it with a classic white button-down and a walkable pair of heels to let your power suit do all the talking.Shift DressEvery girl should have at least one shift dress in their closet. Theyre comfortable and versatile, making them easy to wear over and over again. Invest in a shift dress with a sleek silhouette that flatters your shape without being too tight. You might even consider sizing up or a choosing material with a bit of stretch, as you want to be able to sit, stand and engage comfortably.Showing too much skin isnt the best first impression for an interview, so opt for a sophisticated neckline, cap sleeves (or longer), and a respectful length. For some more coverage, layer it with a cardigan or a pair of tights. A pretty ansicht nec klace or a pair of drop earrings are a great way to add more color and dimension to a shift dress.White BlouseThe idea of wearing a white blouse sounds so boring, but it doesnt have to be. A white top serves as a blank canvas, allowing you to showcase your personality through other aspects of the outfit. If the interview is in a business setting, pair it with a printed midi skirt or a classic pencil skirt.For a more creative role, try wearing it with a pair of wide-leg trousers in a bright hue or even a tulle maxi skirt. Whether you prefer a classic oxford style or a silk blouse with billowy sleeves, there are so many renditions of white blouses on the market that you are bound to find one you can wear again and again.Make sure the blouse isnt see through and if you are not sure, wear an extra layer underneath.Fitted BlazerThe great thing about a fitted blazer is that it can be used as a layer over just about anything that you wear - including a mini dress when the weekend rolls ar ound A fitted blazer gives off a professional vibe and elevates your outfit, no matter what is underneath it.You can never go wrong with a simple black blazer, as you can easily pair it with black pants one day to create a makeshift business suit or wear it with a pair of dark denim and a silk blouse the next. If you decide to go the oversized route, boyfriend blazers look just as cute. To avoid drowning in the excess material, make sure the blazer fits throughout the shoulders.Always dress with confidence in mindWhat you wear will not make or break your interview, but it is comforting knowing that you have several interview savvy pieces in your closet that can last throughout the course of your career. Boring business attire is a thing of the past, and we can now look forward to fashion-forward office wear.Its exciting to have the ability to express your personality and confidence through what you wear, especially to a nerve-wracking interview.They say people make a judgment within the first five minutes of meeting, and chances are that a bold, comfortable power suit will leave much more of a positive impression than an ill-fitting pencil skirt you keep tugging at. Be confident in your skill set and your outfit, and youll be bound for success.Being both a working professional and a fashion blogger, Allie Lochiatto understands the challenges of putting together the right interview outfit. Allie writes for her blog Allie Wears and for thredUP.com, an ansprechbar/offline consignment store where you can find womens work dresses and other budget-friendly work options.
