One by one the Seeker discovers the Five Habits: Engaged Mindfulness, Look and See, Listen and Hear, Yes and…, and StorySelling. These habits offer The Seeker—and you—the necessary skills to tap into your personal assets to dare to stand out and make a solid emotional connection with someone.

Drawing on decades of experience as a speaker, sales trainer, consultant, and coach, Blumsack presents how to overcome barriers to successful personal communication in this 24/7 digital driven work world we live in. Barriers such as lack of face-to-face social skills; closed mindedness; and listening, but not hearing. He makes the case for how the “Five Steps” can be put into practice at any age, by anyone.
Face-to-Face is The Ultimate Social Media storytelling style will grab you and hold your attention.
