Description

If no one’s paying attention, it doesn’t matter what you’re saying.

In today’s fast-paced world, we tend to rush through interactions without building genuine connection.

This ‘engagement gap’ is widening as technology reduces our need to interact with others, while our attention is constantly fragmented by digital distractions.

But the opportunity cost of not engaging can be steep, both personally and professionally.

This book is designed to help you bridge the engagement gap by teaching you how to command attention and deepen connection. Whether you’re trying to keep your prospect’s attention during a sale, presenting content in a boardroom or trying to motivate your teams, discover how to get more out of every interaction.

Few people understand, let alone have mastered, the skill to create immediate, impactful, and unforgettable connection through engagement like Anders has. The good news (for all of us!) is he articulately and generously shares how he does it and how you can benefit from greater engagement in all aspects of your life with Engage First – Capture Attention, Build Trust and Drive Real Results." Rob Wozny, SCMP, Author, Storytelling for Business: The art & science of creating connection in the digital age
