๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐๐ผ ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฝ:ย Stop believing your first impression starts when you begin your presentation.
๐ช๐๐ฌ ๐๐ผ ๐ฆ๐๐ผ๐ฝ:ย Research from Princeton psychologist Alexander Todorov highlights that audience members form snap judgments about your trustworthiness and competence within just one tenth of a second.
Other peopleโs assessments of you begin when they first see you โ be it at the airport, in a hotel lobby, or in a restaurant. Theyโre based on your initial appearance, behavior and interactions with others.
๐ช๐๐๐ง ๐ง๐ผ ๐๐ผ ๐๐ป๐๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ:ย Recognize that you’re “on” the moment you leave home and begin interacting with others.
These snap judgments are rooted in human evolutionary instincts designed for quick decision-making.
Today, they significantly impact your audienceโs openness, receptivity, and engagement with you and your message.
By consciously presenting yourself positively from the moment you arrive at an event, you create positive first impressions, build quicker connections, and ensure your audience is more receptive and attentive during your presentation.
๐ก๐ฒ๐ ๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ฒ๐ฝ: Begin practicing environmental awareness from the moment you leave your home to the moment you walk back through your front door. Be yourself, treat others with respect, and be present in all interactions.
Remember, your presentation starts the moment eyes are on you, far away from the speaking area.
