    How to be More Interesting

    This morning I logged on to do my monthly check of our website analytics. As I settled in with my coffee to peruse our latest numbers, search hits, and demographics. I happened to stumble upon an interesting little finding... While scrolling through our top search terms (what people search to get to the Science of People website) I found this phrase was at the top of the list: “How to Be Interesting” This intrigued me. Why? Because it is not a word I often hear people use.

Interesting it seems is a secret wish, just reserved for search engines. Well, worry no more! In this video I give 5 simple steps to being more interesting!
