first impression management
You have 30 seconds or less to make a first impression on your clients, vendors and even your team members. People decide whether they will do business with you and your organization 93% based on appearances—how you dress, body language, eye contact, tone of voice and etiquette. Additionally, based on what they see when they walk into your lobby, other public space or private office.
What’s the First Impression you make?
First impression management is the intentional process of shaping how others perceive you during your initial interaction. It involves the intentional effort to influence how others perceive you during your initial interaction with them. It requires consciously managing your appearance, behavior, communication, and overall presence to create a positive and lasting impact. Since people form opinions within seconds, often based on appearance, communication, and behavior, managing that first impression is key to personal and professional success.
key elements
appearance
Self presentation impacts how others perceive you. Clothing, grooming, hygiene all play a role in shaping perceptions.
communication
Nonverbal communication is just as important as verbal. Word choice, tone of voice, body language all work together to convey a message.
behavior
Actions and conduct send out social cues. Assertiveness, confidence, and interactions serve to set a tone.
adaptability
Flexibility and openness can be perceived as positive traits. Having the skills to adjust in real time can help keep the message you want to convey on track.
services & offerings
All services and offerings are tailored to your particular needs. The initial consultation serves as the basis for determination. Prior to the initial consultation, you'll be asked to fill out a questionnaire to help guide the discussion. From there, I will design a personalized plan for success. Often, clients will want or need overlapping offerings from other areas.
