NICHOLAS BOOTHMAN BIOGRAPHY

Nicholas Boothman has been called “one of the leading authorities in face-to-face communication in the world” by The New York Times. He has taught his revolutionary techniques of “Risk, and Rapport, by Design” to thousands of corporations, colleges and universities around the world including the Harvard and London Business schools.

A former fashion and advertising photographer who dealt with hundreds of new faces a week for clients like AT&T, Revlon and Coca-Cola, Nicholas Boothman is now recognized as a world-renowned expert in turning first impressions into profitable relationships. Boothman’s first two books, How to Make People Like You in 90 Seconds or Less and How to Connect in Business in 90 Seconds or Less have been translated into more than 30 languages. The New York Times calls him “the new Dale Carnegie,” the Economist Magazine calls him “truly inspirational,” and Good Morning America says, “His book is my bible!

Nicholas Boothman is passionate about human potential. He has met many people throughout his career with tremendous potential but without any people skills – they were like roses with rubber bands wrapped around them – and they’d never blossom until someone took off that rubber band. He made up my mind to be that person to help others achieve. He took a risk and traded in his cameras for a laptop and started out going into schools teaching kids how to ace interviews and get jobs.

From there Boothman’s speaking career took off. Within 6 months he was invited to be the kick-off speaker at the AT&T Canada annual convention at the Metro Convention Centre in Toronto. Today, he speaks all over the world on empowering audiences on how taking risks is the only way businesses can grow and innovate. More than 500 corporations, thousands of small businesses, and six of the world’s leading business schools have contracted Nicholas Boothman to rally and inspire their staff to take risks and connect.

  • “The secret of success is not very hard to figure out. The better you are at connecting with other people, the better the quality of your life.” – Nicholas Boothman

    Nick introduces a revolutionary approach to face-to-face communication that will help anyone succeed at connecting with the people around them. When customers like you they tend to see the best in you and look for reasons to say “yes.” When they don’t like you, the opposite is true. How to Make Customers Like You in 90 Seconds or Less is a motivational, interactive speech of 55-75 minutes that produces exceptional customer service, higher sales and profits.

Testimonials

I have personally worked with Nick on 3 events and in each he has gotten rave reviews. The audience was completely focused, the joy of active participation could be heard in the hallway outside the auditorium, and his words touched some so deeply, they told the organizers the event had changed their lives. I highly recommend him to any group that wants to improve their rapport with employees, customers or partners.
