Making a good impression starts BEFORE the handshake. The moment that matters more...


What’s the first step to making a good impression on someone?

If you wait until the handshake – you’ve missed it. Joe Navarro, former FBI agent and author of “What Every Body is Saying,” says we humans start to influence each other from a distance. That distance could be across a parking lot, down a hallway or at the door just a few feet away – but you’ll need to make the most of it. 

In the business world, there’s a good chance you’ll be spotted before you make contact or conversation. It’s important to keep that in mind, especially if you’re arrival is anticipated. Personal grooming and other unflattering body language could wind up making a bigger impression on spying eyes than that firm handshake or professional introduction.
