Most everything starts with a first impression and successful people seem to understand you rarely get more than one chance to make a good one. It’s not difficult, although unless you’re focused on it the opportunity may get away from you. It starts with a smile: that’s a choice you make and not something that can be faked. I often watch people and it’s obvious when it’s less than genuine, like when it starts and stops too quickly and doesn’t include the eyes; it’s an overall thing that reveals happiness or doesn’t. And it’s abetted by a sense of confidence in themselves and what they’re doing that also can’t be faked: like a poker tell, the signs are there to let you know if they’ve been curious enough to learn all they need to know about what they’re doing. The choice and curiosity are theirs, without it there’s little chance that first impression will be good; the icing on the cake comes from culture they work in: good coaching and a pat on the back let them know they’re dressed for success today.
