Get the 4 emotions you need to make a great first impression every time: http://bit.ly/2nWDgDgThe Secret Of Bill Clinton's Incredible Eye ContactBill Clinton may have the most famously captivating eye contact of anyone alive. On all sides of the political spectrum, people have noted that when Bill Clinton spoke to them, it felt as if they were the only person in the room. Even Newt Gingrich, his political nemesis, said he was "one of the most charming, effective people I have negotiated with." It may have won him the presidency in the 1992 town hall debate against George Bush Sr. and Ross Perot.A huge component of that charm and charisma comes from the engaging way Clinton makes eye contact. And that is the main focus of this video. We'll explore how he is able to convey many emotions with his gaze. Especially a sense of power and genuine connection that come from his intense, narrow eyes. You'll also see how he breaks eye contact in a way that makes people feel heard and be able to contrast that with George Bush Sr. who lost the 1992 debate and maybe the election because of the way he handled this question.Subscribe to Charisma On Command: http://bit.ly/subscribeCOCConnect With Us.Website: http://www.charismaoncommand.comFacebook: http://facebook.com/charismaoncommandPeriscope: @CharismaonOr if you want to see my personal stuff (my regular life + me playing music):Instagram: @CharlieHoupertPeriscope: @CharlieHoupert Learn more about your ad choices.

Discover The 4 Necessary Emotions To A Killer First Impression:http://bit.ly/2EvEGPrWhy Tyrion Will Win The Game Of ThronesGame of Thrones is extremely violent. Yet despite all the bloodiness, most of the power that you see characters like Tywin Lannister or Daenerys Targaryen wield is not through physical force. Rather it comes from mini-conflicts of body language, eye contact, and tonality. Specifically, there is a battle to control the 4 W's.I believe the person to win the Game of Thrones will be the one that best takes control of these 4W's. And one of the best candidates to win is Tyrion Lannister. He may never sit the Iron Throne himself, but I believe that given his incredible command of power, he will be by the ruler's side. Here are the four W's that make Tyrion so special1) When: In this scene Daenerys completely controls the when as Tyrion and Jorah are there at her leisure. She also takes command of the silence.2) Who: Tyrion is great at making himself appear more important. Tywin Lannister is also great at this as he snatches the power from Joffrey, despite the fact that Joffrey Baratheon is king.3) What: Tyrion does an excellent job of controlling what Dany focuses on4) Where: Daenerys' power is completely dependant on where she is - when she finds herself in front of Khal Moro in season 6, it's basically at zeroSo those are the four W's that I believe will win to Tyrion winning the Game of Thrones.
