Experts say that other people form lasting impressions about you within the first 10 seconds of meeting you. Surprising as it might sound, a close look at your own life and relations with other people might confirm that you also form major impressions about people in the first few minutes of your very first encounter. Have you ever heard of love at first sight? Well, preposterous as it might sound in some instances, the very idea goes to reinforce the principle that something about a person can attract you to them or repel you within a short time of meeting them. These initial impressions often tend to be ingrained in our minds and it takes a lot to change them either positively or negatively. So does appearance matter? Does one’s personality have anything to do with their career prospects? Can something about your personality or appearance work for or against your success in business or even in leadership? Should one invest in your virtual or online appearance? The answer to all these is a resounding YES!!! If you have not paid attention to these issues in the past, you may have short-changed yourself and possibly operated below your full potential. (Culled from our book Personal Branding)
