Whether you're on an interview or a first date, you'll want others to see you as engaging, even charming. Here are three tips to make an impressive first impression. Number one Mirror the body language, speech patterns, or gestures of the person you're interacting with. This creates a sense of rapport and connection. Number two if appropriate, share something you feel a bit vulnerable about or admit a modest mistake under the right circumstances. Keeping it real builds trust because it shows your authenticity and humility. 3. Seek the person's opinion or advice. This validates that you respect their knowledge. It also draws them into the conversation in a way that they can shine. Just make sure you keep it real. For more information, follow me.
