First
- How you hold your
body, speak and move affects how you feel. If you
are standing with your shoulders drooping and head bowed, the little pharmacy
in your brain creates and sends chemicals into your
bloodstream in less than a fortieth of a second - to make you feel the way you
look.
Not powerful.
Second
- We form and use
first impressions to access who and how to interact with each other. The
most current research says that we can form an accurate first impression 80%
accurate or higher in 100 milliseconds — less than the time it takes to snap
our finger. The four first impression
factors are credibility, likeability attractiveness and power. We need to make
sure that we are communicating those four factors confidence and credibility so
that others trust us, believe in us and want to do business.
