Let`s face it, when was the last time you introduced yourself to another person... and things kind of not went the way you planned? "Man, I looked like an idiot out there!" Don`t worry there is always a chance to get your first impression right, in fact, this is one of the most important aspects to be aware in social situations, it is vital to improving your social game. I want to share 3 secrets with you that can skyrocket your confidence and make you kick ass in every meeting. #1 Non-verbal communication People perceive others based on their appearance, they can make judgments on how successful or confident that person is, so the determining factor for this perception is your style... the way you use colors, textures and most importantly, your attention to the fit. I`ll give an example: two people walk into a job interview, one is sharply dressed, spot on and the other one is kind of sloppy, baggy clothes... who do you think that gets the job 9 out of 10 times? You`re right! But wait... it`s not all about clothing, don`t forget the grooming, the right use of fragrances and posture, shoulders back, chest up, look people in the eyes, smile and shake their hands like you mean it. #2 Verbal Communication 1/2
Have you ever met someone who`s got their style game on and then when he or she talks... you know what I`m talking about! Ok, the second key point to a kick-ass first impression, assuming that you`re a person of integrity and good intentions, is to talk in a confident manner, don`t interrupt the other person all the time, talk in a slower tone... relax, what`s the rush? Ask questions, be interested in the person whom you`re speaking. #3 Make other people feel better If you`ve read "The 25 Ways To Win With People" by John C. Maxwell, you know what I`m talking about, the best first impression you can make is when you combine number 1 and 2 with a positive attitude towards another person by giving him or her a compliment. "Hey, Ashley, nice to meet you, what a fantastic event this one, don`t you think... and by the way love your shoes!" How likely is Ashley to give you all the attention from now on? That`s right... make others feel special, unique, better about themselves, let them talk! Now, there are no excuses to go out and screw the first impression, practice, you`ll get better and remember that you are greater than you think you are! Thanks for reading!
