SUMMARY:
- The best thing you can do is speak clearly and make the tone of your voice steady and even. Don't get too loud as this can sound annoying rather than powerful.
- Try to avoid closed postures. Don’t cross your arms or legs, ball your hands into fists, or hunch over your seat. Instead, slightly lean in during a conversation to show that you're interested, but don't overdo it.
- Vivian Zayas, a professor of psychology at Cornell University, says that we tend to like people who are at least a little bit similar to us. So if you wanna bond with somebody, you have to find something that excites both of you!
- Dress appropriately but still follow your vision and style. So put on the clothes that make you feel authentic and confident, and enjoy yourself!
- If you want to leave a lasting impression on somebody, try to imagine that you 2 are already friends.
- Eye contact accompanied by casual movements like head or hand motions makes people more memorable and noticeable to others!
- In today’s world of social media's total domination, it's completely normal to see 2 friends in a restaurant both spending time on their phones. But when you're trying to make a nice impression, that is the last thing you should be doing.
- We all love real people, people who aren't afraid to be funny, sound ridiculous, and tell the truth. And that's one of the ultimate secrets of leaving a long-lasting first impression.
- The next time you're meeting somebody that you want to make a nice impression on, focus your attention on them. Ask questions, and listen carefully.
- You can never go wrong with a smile! It lightens up the mood and relieves tension between people who’ve just met.
- Optimistic and positive people always catch the attention of others and never go unnoticed. Plus, it's incredibly fun and inspiring to have a conversation with someone who sees the glass as half full, right?
