About The Book
Now on CD! The creator of the viral sensation “10 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings” reads her must-have book about how to appear smart in less than half the time it takes to actually learn anything.
You know those subtle tricks your coworkers are guilty of? The constant nodding, fake concentration, and useless rhetorical questions? It seems like they know what they’re doing but in fact they have no clue. This behavior is so ingrained, so subtle, and so often mistaken for true intelligence that identifying it, calling it out, or compiling it into an exhaustive digest has never been attempted—until now.
Full of examples and possible scenarios, 100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings gives you actionable ways to use words like “actionable” so you can sound smart. Every type of meeting is covered, from general meetings where you stopped paying attention almost immediately to impromptu ones you were painfully subjected to at the last minute. More advice includes:
-How to nail the big meeting by pacing and nodding
-Most effective ways to listen to your coworkers while still completely ignoring them
-The key to making your presentations “interactive”
If you haven’t noticed these behaviors before, you will see them now—from your colleagues, your managers, and soon yourself. Told in the form of hilariously bad advice, 100 Tricks to Appear Smart in Meetings mirrors the reality of what happens in meetings and what you can do to appear smarter in no time.
