The first impression you give is crucial
Your personal image tells the world who you are and where you are going. How you dress, groom and communicate ultimately determines your success in today’s turbulent business and personal environment.
Most people will judge you within the first seconds of meeting you and their opinion will most likely never change. Are you someone to approach or to avoid? Are you friend or foe? Do you have status and authority? Are you trustworthy, competent, likeable, confident?
Giving a bad first impression can make you lose the confidence of prospective clients, and even cost you business. The first impressions you give a client will set the tone for your future business relationship and show that you are professional and prepared.
Whilst you cannot stop people from making snap decisions on the image you project, you can learn how to make those decisions work in your favour.
Come and join us for this fun and interactive workshop; learn how to make a killer first impression and understand how people perceive each other.
