Vanessa Van Edwards walks through adjective pairs like charismatic vs. boring to help you identify what impression you actually make. She argues that knowing how people see you now is the first step to changing it.
Let's be totally honest right now. When people first meet you, what do you think they think of you? In other words, how do you think you come across? Choose one word from this list of adjectives, or pick your own, to fill in the blank: When people first meet me, they think I'm: charismatic or boring, outgoing or shy, kind or judgmental, intelligent or weird, open or closed, powerful or weak, engaging or odd, professional or casual. Did you pick a positive word or a negative word? You have to know where you stand now to move to where you want to be.
