Then, what can we do to make a good impression on others? (open-ended). Background Information:Make a strong first impression: six tips that really work We have all heard this warning: “You never get a second chance to make a good first impression.” Also, psychologists, writers, and seminar leaders caution that we only have from seven to seventeen seconds of interacting with strangers before they form an opinion of us. With this widely acknowledged pressure to “make our case” instantly, here are six tips for making your first impression a positive one.1. the greatest way to make a positive first impression is to demonstrate immediately that the other person, not you, is the center of action and conversation. Illustrate that the spotlight is on you only, and youll miss opportunities for friendships, jobs, love relationships, networking, and sales. Show that you are other-centered, and first-time acquaintances will be eager to see you again.2. Closely related: Youll make a superb initial impression when you demonstrate good listening skills. Give positive verbal cues: “Hmminteresting!” “Tell me more, please.” “What did you do next?” just as actors benefit from prompts, your conversational partner will welcome your assistance in keeping the exchange going. Nonverbally, you show youre a skilled listener by maintaining steady eye contact. Remember how you respond to the social gadabout who appears to be looking over your shoulder for the next person he wants to corner. Remember, and avoid that habit. 3. Use the name of a new acquaintance frequently. “Judy, I like that suggestion.” “Your vacation must have been exciting, Fred.” You show that you have paid attention from the start, catching the name during the introduction. Equally as important, youll make conversations more personal by including the listener name several times.4. Be careful with humor. Although a quip or two might serve as an icebreaker, stay away from remarks that could bring about adverse results. Because you dont know a strangers sensitivities, casual joking might establish barriers you cant overcome, either now or later.5. Appearance counts. Several years ago, a professional colleague offered to meet me for lunch. I decided against wearing a suit, opting for a sport coat and tie. When he showed up in shorts and sandals, the message he conveyed was: “Bill, meeting you is a rather ordinary experience, and doesnt call for me to present a business-like appearance.” Not surprisingly, that was the last time I met with him. True, standards for appropriate dressing have changed greatly. Maybe the best advice I can share came from a participant in a seminar I conducted. She said, “ I dont dress for the job I have now, I dress for the job I want to have.”6. As a communication specialist, I have to point out that an individuals speaking style impacts the first impression, maybe more than we wish. Listeners judge our intelligence, our cultural level, our education, even our leadership ability by the words we select -and by now we say them.StagePresentation A.
