The 10 Second Rule

The reason your ancestors weren't eaten by sabre-tooth tigers is thanks to a skill they picked up. Your brain possesses this same skill today. It keeps you out of danger. Unfortunately, it also kills any chance of being persuasive, believed and remembered.

Why does Cambridge University attract better professors than Nigeria's Enugu State University of Science and Tech? Why was Tony Abbott doomed as PM? It's all answered in The 10 Second Rule.

The 10 Second Rule is a look inside your audience's brain to understand why you sometimes fail to connect with them, why what they say and do are often different, and what you can do to make a lasting positive impression.
