Summary

Welcome to the second episode of Minisode Monday! We keep finding so so many useful tactics and tips that we want to share with you, but they don't fit into the format of a regular show -- hence, Minisode Monday. The Cheat Sheet: How can you start reading people quickly? When observing someone, try to remember more than appearance-based traits. Noticing more than superficial features hones your judgment and makes you more observant in a deeper way. Pay attention to how your favorite writers describe characters -- the good ones will tell you more than what's just on the surface. Challenge: For the next week, put these observations in practice as you interact with people. You'll be surprised at how naturally your radar starts to pick up clues about what makes them tick. Let us know about how you put today's Minisode Monday into practice! Leave a comment below, tweet with @TheArtofCharm in your response, or write to Jordan directly: jordan@theartofcharm.com (he reads everything)!

magnetic and effective.

0:12.8

Today, a lot of people have commented, wow, Jordan, you're really observant for a guy who's

0:16.9

kind of all over the place because if you've met me in person, I'm both distractable

0:21.2

as well as observant in a weird and kind of weird quirky ways.

0:24.8

How do I read people so quickly?

0:26.6

I've been asked and I've been recently, or at least the past few months, on and off,

0:33.7

And Jenny said, hey, did you notice the girl with the long eyelashes and the blue pants?

0:38.4

And I said, the one who didn't make eye contact and sounded a little bit tired.

0:42.9

And she was kind of like, yeah, a random thing to have noticed, especially since she noticed

long eyelashes and blue pants, which seem much more obvious.

0:51.2
