A life changing modern-day twist on Dale Carnegie’s timeless classic –
learn how to have more friends, show more charisma, and better manage
every relationship – all in the comfort of your home.

“Kerry O’Hallaron simply nailed it with People Skills 101,” says
Jason Broadman, international book critic. “He took something everyone
needs to know, which nobody teaches, and made it interesting, eminently
readable, entertaining, and exceptionally useful to just about
everyone.”



Do you remember that course you took in school called “Basic People
Skills?” You don’t, do you – because nobody, anywhere, teaches such a
course. Whether grade school, high school, or beyond, NOBODY thought it
was important to teach us how to interact. NOBODY thought it was
important enough to teach us interpersonal skills – how to get people to
like us, how to get them to see us the way we want to be seen, how to
manage our relationships.Apparently they just assumed that we are either
born with “people skills” – or we weren’t!



People Skills 101 offers an elegantly simple and completely unique
solution. It works, whether you are a shy and reserved introvert, a
bubbly and outgoing extrovert, or anywhere in between. Simply choose any
three of the twenty-one “GoldenRules” offered in the book, begin to use
them faithfully, and watch the results with awe. You will be amazed how
a few, subtle changes will quickly craft a new, more influential, more
charismatic, more likable, YOU!

How to INSTANTLY Become More Likeable

“Share your smile with the
world. It’s a symbol of friendship and peace.”
 
(Christie Brinkley, American model, actress, and businesswoman, 1954- )
Legend has it that “Connie” (her real name – she’d be pleased to know
that I’m sharing her story) came out of the womb with a smile on her face.
I wasn’t on this earth at the time, so I don’t know that for sure. I
only knew her for the last two thirds of her many years. So let me share what I
do know about her.
She was born in the Midwest United
States
, of hard-working middle-class parents who
were not far removed from European immigrants. She had a happy childhood. In
the middle of World War II, as a young adult, she married Don. They were
together nearly sixty years – by all accounts a very happy union.







Connie, along
with Don, raised six children. That alone was a herculean effort. Somehow,
she managed to keep smiling through it all.
In the early 1970’s, as the children were progressing through their
education, she entered the work force
– during a time when many women could
only get jobs as secretaries. Being a secretary, though, was not for Connie.
Her exceptional work ethic and winning smile earned her the job of city clerk
in her home town. She worked there until retirement, at which point she (showing
her captivating smile as always) was featured in the local newspaper for being
a one-of-a-kind woman.
She loved retirement, enjoying her relationships with Don, her children
and grandchildren, and old friends. She lived the good life until the late 1990’s,
when tragedy struck in the form of a massive stroke. Not one to give up easily,
Connie survived the stroke well – except that it became difficult to verbalize
what she was thinking. She thought clearly but spoke with great difficulty –
often barely able to get a message across.
Previously, she had always communicated with a smile and a friendly
word. Now she just had the smile, as many of her words did not make sense
except to those closest to her.
If that bothered her, you’d never know it. Whenever someone came to
visit her, her eyes lit up and her
smile warmed
the room. The smile projected a clear message: “Hi. I’m really glad to see you.
I’m glad you are in my life. I’m glad you are here.” Her speech was challenged,
but her communication was just a little different than yours and mine.
When Don died in 2004, she moved to a nice senior living facility, where
her smile alone was enough to befriend residents and staff alike. She had
constant visitors from her large extended family, friends, and residents, in
spite of the speech challenge. Connie made life good.
I got to spend some time with her just a week before her death in 2014.
We both seemed to know her time was coming – but she refused to give up that
radiant smile even then. We spent time enjoying the beautiful surroundings of
the home, looking at the flowers and listening to the birds. I talked; she
smiled.
A week later, as she departed this world, she left behind a gift to
everyone who knew her – now including you. She entrusted that wonderful,
powerful smile to each of us, asking us to both keep it and share it with
others, and make the world a little brighter place in the process.
(Rest in peace Connie O’Hallaron, a/k/a Mom, 1920-2014.)










Kerry O’Hallaron was born in St. Louis, MO. He attended college at
the University of Missouri, and later “emigrated” to Florida. His
passion in life is to help others maximize their own potential.

His latest book, “People Skills 101 – tm: How to Have More Friends,
Fewer Conflicts, and Better Relationships,” is a compelling and
life-changing new spin on one of the oldest “self-development” books in
print. In it, he adds new color the art and science of people skills,
which wealthy industrialist John D. Rockefeller called the most valuable
asset under the sun. O’Hallaron teaches us in a humorous way how to use
time-tested principles in our quest for friendships and positive
business and personal relationships. The teachings aren’t new – but
O’Hallaron’s unique twist on them certainly is. Whether you’re a shy,
reserved introvert or a bubbly, outgoing extrovert, “People Skills 101”
could be the only book you need to understand the simple tools that will
help you both create and manage the perceptions people have of you.



You will be amazed how a few, subtle changes you can learn from this
book will craft a new, more influential, more charismatic, more likable,
YOU!



O’Hallaron lives in Tampa with his wife, Carol, and can’t seem to get
away from spending significant parts of each year in his home town of
St. Louis.
