First Impression.

Research indicates that within 7 seconds people are making important decisions about you. Decisions such as your competence, confidence, trustworthiness, socioeconomic background, personality, and age, just to name a few. What’s the initial impression you make? Are you ready to show up more confident, aligned, empowered, promotable…or datable? Receive candid and respectful feedback and tips based on your appearance, communication style, body language, energy, and if relevant, online profiles.  Ensure the language of your look is accurately speaking your personal brand message and telling your unique story.

Impressive Results
The distinction is that what once was a “first impression” – firmness of handshake, fashion, and physical appearance – has become the “second Impression”.
What was once the “second impression” – intellect, wisdom, talent and generosity – has become the “first impression”.
People exercise their options accordingly; first impressions leads us to action.

Evolution or Revolution?
Social media does not care if you are rich, poor, young or old, beautiful or homely.  It does not care about the color of your skin, fat or thin, physical ability or disability.  It does not care what kind of car you drive, clothes you wear, or the size of your home. Or does it?
For every revolution, there is a corresponding evolution. 

TIP: Whether socially or professionally, also mind your ongoing interactions.  First Impressions might be your “door opener”, but it’s your ongoing interactions that will keep you there!
