AUTHOR VISIT: 'You've Got 8 Seconds' with Paul Hellman

Paul Hellman, author of "You've Got 8 Seconds: Communication Secrets For A Distracted World," will introduce strategies that will get you heard, get you remembered and get you results, both at work and in life.

 

"Every day at work, people do three things: talk, listen and pretend to listen. That's not surprising -- the average attention span has dropped to just 8 seconds," says Hellman, a high-stakes communications expert and former contributing editor to "Management Review." "To get heard, you need to focus on your message, be slightly different, and deliver with finesse. Come discover techniques to improve your FOCUS (design a strong message and hit it in seconds), VARIETY (make routine information come alive), and PRESENCE (convey confidence and command attention)."
