👍Check Out Our In the Biz Body Language Tips!

It’s a cliche that rings true — you don't get a second chance to make that good first impression. It's important to get it right — after all, it's over within seven to 30 seconds of meeting someone.
Yet its effects are long-lasting — it can make or break a new relationship. Even more challenging is the fact that most of it is made with your body language before you even open your mouth.
Make it count with these 5 tips — from a body language expert.

Follow these body language tips to make a first impression really count:

1️⃣Stand tall. You begin making an impression the instant you walk into a room. Good posture suggests you are confident and a person who should be taken seriously. Stand straight, but not rigid, pull in your tummy, and relax your shoulders. Keep your arms at your side since crossed arms could be seen as closing yourself off from arguments, or that you’re feeling insecure.

2️⃣Make your handshake count. People judge a lot by a handshake, and a limp-noodle handshake is taken as a sign you’re insecure, nervous, lack ability, or just don’t care. We’re not suggesting a bone-crushing power grip, but a firm shake that lasts about two seconds.

3️⃣Smile and nod. A genuine smile combined with appropriate nods shows you are listening, and even agreeing, with the opinions being expressed.

4️⃣Make eye contact. While making eye contact is important, don’t focus so intently that the other person feels like they’re being stared down — that’s intimidating. Instead, after looking at their eyes for a couple of seconds, just look them in the face to make sure you appear to be interested in the conversation.

5️⃣Lean in. Leaning in toward a person shows that you’re focused on them and are truly interested.

🌹Be sure to take a minute to remember #civilrights icon #RosaParks — today is her birthday.

Here are a few of #Odysseymedia's favorite quotes: "I would like to be remembered as a person who wanted to be free... so other people would be also free." 🚌On keeping her seat: "People always say that I didn't give up my seat because I was tired, but that isn't true. I was not tired physically... No, the only tired I was, was tired of giving in." It's a little-known fact Rosa Parks was already sitting in a section where blacks could sit in the bus...she was asked to give up her seat when a white passenger had to stand.
