Zooming First Time Are You In Phone Mode Or On Stage?

Here’s a guy that gets video calls for those meeting people one-to-one – at least for the first time – to ‘sell’. He’s an American living in Australia specialising in ‘trust-based’ sales training. His initial treatise over a decade ago was groundbreaking. I get his analogy; When meeting someone on

Your Three Populations

Karol Sikora – waving goodbye above – has been a star across the airwaves. Particularly for all those desperate to hear ‘the science’ transparently debated by grownups. A welcome, measured riposte to the irrefutable, cut-and-dried, we-know-best hypotheses omnipresent from MSM. When zooming in from his above darkened room at home, he used
