First impressions and the importance of your introduction

The art of a truly successful introduction does not always come naturally and can take some time and soul searching to master. To have the ability to meet a person and walk away leaving you embedded in their thoughts can be beneficial to ones life in more ways than one.

First impressions are like a resume. They are just as important to get your foot in the door to be given the opportunity for an interview, so as they can get to know you and you can impress. You may be an amazing person, with a lot to offer who holds an impressive skill set, but without that effective introduction you deny yourself the opportunity to show it.

The key is to have an impact on your audience fueled with confidence (not ignorance), respect for yourself and a friendly nature. Possessing a point of difference in your introduction will spark an interest within your audience that will gain you the additional attention, which is a welcomed bonus! Eye contact and facial expression also come hand in hand.
