30-Second People Reading: The EAX System to Say the Right Thing at the Right Time
Read people in 30 seconds. Say the right thing at the right time.
30-Second People Reading gives you a practical system for fast, ethical people reading so you can adapt in real time and get better results. The EAX model looks at three observable dimensions - Energy (internal, external, flexible), Approach (opportunity, risk, data), and Execution (essentialist, optimizer, maximizer) - and turns them into clear moves you can use in any conversation.
