Leaving a good impression can be done in different ways, from clothing to posture, and from talking style to body language. Below are several tips for you to begin with:
●Physical appearance matters. We're visual creatures after all.
Physical appearance is the first clue one relies on to judge who we are. It also means the person means something to us by dressing properly. If it is a business setting, be aware of the dress rule or culture. A thumbs-up here does not mean the same elsewhere. So do the research! Details from any little areas will affect the impression on the whole.
●
A fake (假的) smile can potentially do more harm than good in our attempts to leave a good impression. It is understandable that sometimes it is hard to suddenly force a smile. Remember being positive plays an important part in shaping our first impression.
●Look into people's eyes until you see the colors of their iris (虹膜).
Keeping eye contact delivers a sense of friendship to the people we interact with. Consequently, they feel more connected to us and tend to be more positive toward the interaction. Well, try to identify the color of the others' irises. Get it? That makes a good eye contact example.
Are these the impression we want to leave? Stop staring at the ground and look at people in the eye then!
