The Golden Rule of Schmoozing

"After three hours of Jillette's gregarious salt of the earth narration listeners will come away believing that schmoozing is more natural and attainable than most of us ever imagined, or wanted, it to be."

"Jaye, a professional performer and clown, has applied the Yiddish term "schmoozing, " or "chatting, " to all aspects of life: business dealings, romance strategies, child-rearing."

"Jillette's rendition sparkles with vitality."

"Pick up The Golden Rule of Schmoozing and learn how you can transform yourself from Nervous Norvess to Cary Grant."

So what is schmoozing? According to Webster's unabridged dictionary, schmoozing is a yiddish word that means to chat or to converse idly. But today there is a common misconception, the word has come to suggest a con or trickery. It's not. Schmoozing is the Golden Rule at full throttle. It's a thrill and an art form that encourages people to say, "you've made my day" instead of demanding "make my day." It's a technique for turning others on, not taking others on. A schmoozer is someone who talks to people as if they really mattered-and they do!
