7 Ways To Make a Great First
Impression
Peter Murphy
When you have an important
event to attend there are 7 great ways to make sure you perform at your
very best. These tips are relevant for social events and business
meetings. Discover how to communicate with confidence while making great
conversation.
1. Decide what you want to say before the event. Review it in your mind
to make sure it sounds okay. Keep rehearsing it until you can say it
with conviction and confidence.
2. Consider your potential listeners. Who will you be talking to and
which topics of conversation will be welcome? You need to make sure your
message matches your audience.
3.Be yourself. The worst mistake is to pretend you are something you are
not. People will see through you and distrust everything you say. Even
if you communicate clearly and with confidence.
4. Never expect things to work out perfectly. Be ready to deal with
problems by deciding in advance what you will do. What will you do if
people ignore your input? Now is the time to decide and not later on in
the heat of the moment.
5. Be flexible in your approach. Different people need to be treated
differently. Pay very close attention to how people respond to what you
say and keep adjusting your approach until you have a good rapport with
your listener.
6. Make the other person the focus of your attention and let him lead
the conversation in the early stages. Let that person steer the
conversation onto topics that are of interest to him.
7. Anticipate what could go wrong. Then do what you can to make sure
those scenarios do not occur. Adequate planning is the key to performing
at your best in the moment.
