Guy Kawasaki is like Rock ‘N Roll – Fun, Energetic, Multifaceted, Popular & Full of Passion. And just like Rock ‘N Roll f you don’t get it (him) you never will 😉

A Silicon Valley venture capitalist. Guy Kawasaki (@GuyKawasaki) was one of the Apple employees originally responsible for marketing the Macintosh in 1984. Guy is a Co-founder of Alltop (@Alltop) former chief evangelist of Apple and author of 10 books including his latest Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions.

My favorite Guyism is his 10 20 30 rule for presentations – 10 Slides 20 Minutes and no less then 30 point font and if you disagree with the font recommendation take the age of the oldest participant and divide by 2 😉

Enchantment: The Art of Changing Hearts, Minds, and Actions is Guy’s tenth book. In it, he explains how to influence what people will do while maintaining the highest standards of ethics.

The book explains when and why enchantment is necessary and then the pillars of enchantment: likability, trustworthiness, and a great cause.

The next topics are launching, overcoming resistance, making enchantment endure, and using technology. There are even special chapters dedicated to enchanting your employees and your boss.

Finally, because there are times you may want to resist enchantment, there’s even a chapter about how to do this too.
