Research shows wemake up our minds about people through unspoken communication within sevenseconds of meeting them. Consciously or unconsciously,we show our

true feelings withour eyes,faces,bodies and attitudes,causing a chain of reactions,ranging fromcomfort to fear.

Think about some ofyour most unforgettable meetings:an introduction to your future spouse,a jobinterview,an encounter with a stranger. Focus on the first seven

seconds.What did youfeel and think?How did you"read"the other person?How do you think heread you?

You are themessage.For 25 years I've worked with thousands who want to be successful.I'vehelped them make persuasive presentations,answer unfriendly

questions,communicatemore effectively.The secret has always been you are the message.Others willwant to be with you and help you if you use your good qualities.They

includE.physicalappearance,energy,rate of speech, pitch and tone of voice,gestures,expressionthrough the eyes,and the ability to hold the interest of others.Others form an

impressiont aboutyou based on these.

Think of times whenyou know you made a good impression.What made you successful?You were committedto what you were talking about and so absorbed in the moment

you lost allself-con-sciousness.

Many books adviseyou to stride into a room and impress others with your qualities.They instructyou to greet them with"power handshakes"and tell you to fix your eyeson

the other person. Ifyou follow all this advice,you'll drive everyone crazy一including yourself.

The trick is to beconsistent at your best.The most effective people never change from onesituation to another. They're the same whether they're having a

conversation,addressingtheir garden club or being interviewed for a job.They communicate with theirwhole being;the tones of their voices and their gestures match their

words.The authorsuggests us greet others with power handshakes and fix eyes on other person soas to impress them.
