This book provides insight into many different Aspects of your persona and personality that can help you become more approachable and help people to trust you.
I will post a few of the examples After the MORE button, cheers :)

The Flooding Smile

Don’t ?ash an immediate smile when you greet
someone, as though anyone who walked into your lin
of sight would be the bene?ciary. Instead, look at the
other person’s face for a second. Pause. Soak in their
persona. Then let a big, warm, responsive smile ?ood
over your face and over?ow into your eyes. It will
engulf the recipient like a warm wave. The split-secon
delay convinces people your ?ooding smile is genuine
and only for them.

Sticky Eyes

Pretend your eyes are glued to your conversation
partner’s with sticky warm taffy. Don’t break eye
contact even after he or she has ?nished speaking.
When you must look away, do it ever so slowly,
reluctantly, stretching the gooey taffy until the tiny
string ?nally breaks.

The Big-Baby Pivot

Give everyone you meet The Big-Baby Pivot. The
instant the two of you are introduced, reward your new
acquaintance. Give the warm smile, the total-body
turn, and the undivided attention you would give a tiny
tyke who crawled up to your feet, turned a precious
face up to yours, and beamed a big toothless grin.
Pivoting 100 percent toward the new person shouts “I
think you are very, very special.”

Parroting

Never be left speechless again. Like a parrot, simply
repeat the last few words your conversation partner
says. That puts the ball right back in his or her court,
and then all you need to do is listen.

Kill the Quick “Me, Too!”

Whenever you have something in common with
someone, the longer you wait to reveal it, the more
moved (and impressed) he or she will be. You emerge
a con?dent big cat, not a lonely little stray, hungry fo
quick connection with a stranger.
P.S.: Don’t wait too long to reveal your shared
interest or it will seem like you’re being tricky.

The Broken Record

Whenever someone persists in questioning you on an
unwelcome subject, simply repeat your original
response. Use precisely the same words in precisely the
same tone of voice. Hearing it again usually quiets
them down. If your rude interrogator hangs on like a
leech, your next repetition never fails to ?ick them off.

Bluffing for Bargains

The haggling skills used in ancient Arab markets ar
alive and well in contemporary America for big-tick
items. Your price is much lower when you know ho
to deal.
Before every big purchase, ?nd several vendors—
few to learn from and one to buy from. Armed wit
few words of industryese, you’re ready to head for t
store where you’re going to buy.

Employ Empathizers

Don’t be an unconscious ummer. Vocalize complete
sentences to show your understanding. Dust your
dialogue with phrases like “I see what you mean.”
Sprinkle it with sentimental sparklers like “That’s a
lovely thing to say.” Your empathy impresses your
listeners and encourages them to continue.

Grapevine Glory

A compliment one hears is never as exciting as the one
he overhears. A priceless way to praise is not by
telephone, not by telegraph, but by tell-a-friend. This
way you escape possible suspicion that you are an
apple-polishing, bootlicking, egg-sucking, back-
scratching sycophant trying to win brownie points. You
also leave recipients with the happy fantasy that you are
telling the whole world about their greatness.

And there are many more where these came from.
