Making A Great First Impression

"Many times people might say positive phrases but send conflicting messages through their body language."

Good Morning Folks,

On your first day at a new job or client meeting, It's important to stay positive and be enthusiastic.

It's also important to recognize how you communicate non-verbally.

Many times people might say positive phrases but send conflicting messages through their body language.

Here are some tips that will help you open up on good terms with your new boss.

==> Maintain eye contact.
It's important to maintain eye contact when speaking or listening. Eye contact shows that you are interested when listening and confident when speaking. Not giving eye contact can project insecurity and dishonestly.

==> Be relaxed and open.
Relax your arms and keep them uncrossed. Crossing your arms makes you come across as closed off and protective. By uncrossing your arms, you will appear open and easier to talk to.

==> Nod in agreement.
By nodding your head, you show that you are listening and — more important — giving positive nonverbal feedback.

==> Take notes.
Taking notes is another way to provide positive feedback and show that you care about what your new boss is saying.

==> Lean closer.
A slight lean toward your boss shows that you're involved and interested in what the person is saying.

==> Maintain relaxed posture.
You should always maintain good posture; however, you shouldn't look stiff.

Have a GREAT Day!
